Christian Standard Bible | International Standard Version |
1The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. | 1The one who lives in the shelter of the Most High, who rests in the shadow of the Almighty, |
2I will say concerning the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust: | 2will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge, my fortress, and my God in whom I trust!" |
3He himself will rescue you from the bird trap, from the destructive plague. | 3He will surely deliver you from the hunter's snare and from the destructive plague. |
4He will cover you with his feathers; you will take refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield. | 4With his feathers he will cover you, under his wings you will find safety. His truth is your shield and armor. |
5You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, | 5You need not fear terror that stalks in the night, the arrow that flies in the day, |
6the plague that stalks in darkness, or the pestilence that ravages at noon. | 6plague that strikes in the darkness, or calamity that destroys at noon. |
7Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you. | 7If a thousand fall at your side or ten thousand at your right hand, it will not overcome you. |
8You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked. | 8Only observe it with your eyes, and you will see how the wicked are paid back. |
9Because you have made the LORD--my refuge, the Most High--your dwelling place, | 9"LORD, you are my refuge!" Because you chose the Most High as your dwelling place, |
10no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent. | 10no evil will fall upon you, and no affliction will approach your tent, |
11For he will give his angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways. | 11for he will command his angels to protect you in all your ways. |
12They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. | 12With their hands they will lift you up so you will not trip over a stone. |
13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the young lion and the serpent. | 13You will stomp on lions and snakes; you will trample young lions and serpents. |
14Because he has his heart set on me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows my name. | 14Because he has focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name. |
15When he calls out to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and give him honor. | 15When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in his distress. I will deliver him, and I will honor him. |
16I will satisfy him with a long life and show him my salvation. | 16I will satisfy him with long life; I will show him my deliverance. |
