Christian Standard Bible | New Living Translation |
1The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. | 1Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest 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: | 2This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. |
3He himself will rescue you from the bird trap, from the destructive plague. | 3For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. |
4He will cover you with his feathers; you will take refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield. | 4He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. |
5You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, | 5Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. |
6the plague that stalks in darkness, or the pestilence that ravages at noon. | 6Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. |
7Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you. | 7Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. |
8You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked. | 8Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. |
9Because you have made the LORD--my refuge, the Most High--your dwelling place, | 9If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, |
10no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent. | 10no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. |
11For he will give his angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways. | 11For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. |
12They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. | 12They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. |
13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the young lion and the serpent. | 13You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! |
14Because he has his heart set on me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows my name. | 14The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in 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 they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. |
16I will satisfy him with a long life and show him my salvation. | 16I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” |
