Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

4 בְּאֶבְרָתֹ֨ו ׀ יָ֣סֶךְ לָ֭ךְ וְתַֽחַת־כְּנָפָ֣יו תֶּחְסֶ֑ה צִנָּ֖ה וְֽסֹחֵרָ֣ה אֲמִתֹּֽו׃

He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

6 מִ֭דֶּבֶר בָּאֹ֣פֶל יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֝קֶּ֗טֶב יָשׁ֥וּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃

[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.

No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.

They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 עַל־שַׁ֣חַל וָפֶ֣תֶן תִּדְרֹ֑ךְ תִּרְמֹ֖ס כְּפִ֣יר וְתַנִּֽין׃

Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.

He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
