If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the LORD, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
then no harm will befall you
Proverbs 12:21 No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
For he will command his angels concerning you
Genesis 32:1 Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Hebrews 1:14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
to guard you in all your ways
Psalm 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone
Proverbs 3:23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; ...
Matthew 4:6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'" (also Luke 4:10-11)
you will trample the great lion and the serpent
Daniel 6:22 "My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king."

illustrative roster of mortal threats:
Amos 5:19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him.
