The text of the psalm
יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃
O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, And abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;
אֹמַר לַיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃
I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust,
כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃
That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence.
בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃
He will cover thee with His pinions, And under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.
לֹא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃
Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flieth by day;
מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃
Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃
A thousand may fall at Thy side, And ten thousand at Thy right hand; It shall not come nigh thee.
רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the recompense of the wicked.
כִּי־אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃
For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, Even the Most High, thy habitation.
לֹא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃
There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃
For He will give His angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃
They shall bear thee upon their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.
כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃
'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.
יִקְרָאֵנִי וְאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.
אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃
With long life will I satisfy him, And make Him to behold My salvation.'
