CLV(i)
1 He who is dwelling in the concealment of the Supreme Shall lodge in the shadow of Him Who-Suffices.
2 I shall say of Yahweh:My Refuge and my Fastness, My Elohim, in Whom I trust."
3 For He Himself shall rescue you from the snare of the trapper, From the plague of woes."
4 With His pinions shall He overshadow you, And under His wings shall you take refuge; A large shield and encircling-guard is His faithfulness."
5 You shall not fear the alarm at night, Or the arrow that flies by day,
6 Neither the plague that walks in gloom, Nor the sting that devastates at high noon."
7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; It shall not come close to you."
8 But with your eyes you shall look And see the repayment of the wicked.
9 For You, O Yahweh, are my Refuge! Because you have made the Supreme your habitation,
10 Evil shall not be your fate, And contagion, it shall not approach into your tent."
11 For He shall enjoin His messengers concerning you, To keep you in all your ways."
12 On their palms shall they lift you, Lest you should strike your foot against a stone."
13 Upon the black lion and the cobra shall you tread; You shall tramp down the sheltered lion and the snake.
14 Because he is attached to Me, I shall deliver him; I shall make him impregnable, for he knows My Name."
15 He shall call on Me, and I shall answer him; I am with him in distress; I shall liberate him and glorify him."
16 With length of days shall I satisfy him, And I shall show him My salvation."
