2. I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.”
3. God will save you from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases.
4. You can go to him for protection. He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies. You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield.
5. You will have nothing to fear at night and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day.
6. You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon.
7. A thousand people may fall dead at your side or ten thousand right beside you, but nothing bad will happen to you!
8. All you will have to do is watch, and you will see that the wicked are punished.
9. You trust in the Lord for protection. You have made God Most High your place of safety.
10. So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home.
11. He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12. Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.
