He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge.

His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come;

and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—

to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
