9 You have made the Lord your defender,

the Most High your protector,

10 and so no disaster will strike you,

no violence will come near your home.

11 God will put his angels in charge of you

to protect you wherever you go.

12 They will hold you up with their hands

to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.

13 You will trample down lions and snakes,

fierce lions and poisonous snakes.

14 God says, “I will save those who love me

and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.

15 When they call to me, I will answer them;

when they are in trouble, I will be with them.

I will rescue them and honor them.

16 I will reward them with long life;

I will save them.”
