⁹ Because you have made the Lord your ^(A)dwelling place—
    the Most High, who is my ^(B)refuge^[a]—
^10 (C)no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
    ^(D)no plague come near your tent.

^11 (E)For he will command his ^(F)angels concerning you
    to ^(G)guard you in all your ways.
¹² On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you ^(H)strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on ^(I)the lion and the ^(J)adder;
    the young lion and ^(K)the serpent you will ^(L)trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he ^(M)holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
    I will protect him, because he ^(N)knows my name.
¹⁵ When he ^(O)calls to me, I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble;
    I will rescue him and ^(P)honor him.
¹⁶ With ^(Q)long life I will satisfy him
    and ^(R)show him my salvation.”
