1. He that dwelleth in the seter Elyon (covering, hiding place of the Most High) shall abide under the tzel Shaddai (shadow of the Almighty).
2. I will say of Hashem, He is my refuge and my fortress; Elohai (my G-d); in Him will I trust.
3. Surely He shall save thee from the pach yakosh ([deadly] snare of the fowler), and from the devastating dever (plague).
4. He shall cover thee with His evrah (pinion, flight feathers), and under His kenafayim (wings) shalt thou find defense; His Emes shall be thy shield and buckler.
5. Thou shalt not be afraid of the pachad (terror) by lailah; nor of the khetz (arrow) that flieth yomam (by day);
6. Nor for the dever (plague) that walketh in darkness; nor for the ketev (pestilence, destruction) that destroyeth at tzohorayim (noon).
