Verse 1:

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord...

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

He is my God, and I trust Him. (2x)

Verse 2:

For He will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with His feathers.

He will shelter you with His wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day. (2x)

Chorus (2x):

You’re my shield and my protection

You’re my refuge and salvation. You are my God.

You lead me through the tribulation

You bring me peace and restoration. You are my God.

Verse 3:

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

  these evils will not touch you. (2x)

Chorus (2x):

You’re my shield and my protection

You’re my refuge and salvation. You are my God.

You lead me through the tribulation

You bring me peace and restoration. You are my God.

Verse 4:

Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.

If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.

For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

 You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents... under your feet!

 Chorus (2x):

You’re my shield and my protection

You’re my refuge and salvation. You are my God.

You lead me through the tribulation

You bring me peace and restoration. You are my God.

Bridge (2x):

(The Lord says) “I will rescue those who love Me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

When they call on Me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.

I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”

Verse 1 Ending:

 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

 will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
