9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
|
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge--
|
|
10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
|
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
|
|
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
|

14 "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
|
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
|
|
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
|
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
