¹ He who dwells inⓐ the shelter of the Most High will abide inⓑ the shadow of the Almighty.

² I will say[1] to the LORD, “Myⓒ refuge and myⓓ fortress, my God, in whom Iⓔ trust.”

³ For he will deliver you fromⓕ the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

⁴ He willⓖ cover you with his pinions, and under hisⓗ wings you willⓘ find refuge; hisⓙ faithfulness isⓚ a shield and buckler.

⁵ ⓛ You will not fearⓜ the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

⁸ You will only look with your eyes andⓝ see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the LORD yourⓞ dwelling place — the Most High, who is myⓟ refuge[2] —

¹⁰ ⓠ no evil shall be allowed to befall you, ⓡno plague come near your tent.

¹¹ ⓢ For he will command hisⓣ angels concerning you toⓤ guard you in all your ways.

¹² On their hands they will bear you up, lest youⓥ strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread onⓦ the lion and theⓧ adder; the young lion andⓨ the serpent you willⓩ trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because heⓐ holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because heⓑ knows my name.

¹⁶ Withⓔ long life I will satisfy him andⓕ show him my salvation.”
