9  The Lord is ^qa stronghold for ^rthe oppressed,

a stronghold in ^stimes of trouble.

10  And those who ^tknow your name put their trust in you,

for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

9  Because you have made the Lord your ^odwelling place—

the Most High, who is my ^crefuge¹—

10  ^pno evil shall be allowed to befall you,

^qno plague come near your tent.

11  ^rFor he will command his ^sangels concerning you

to ^tguard you in all your ways.

17  no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,

and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord

^cand their vindication¹ from me, declares the Lord.”

12  For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

and his ears are open to their prayer.

But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
