| 1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. | 1As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of the sovereign One, and resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king-- |
| 2I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!" | 2I say this about the LORD, my shelter and my stronghold, my God in whom I trust-- |
| 3For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly pestilence. | 3he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the destructive plague. |
| 4He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. | 4He will shelter you with his wings; you will find safety under his wings. His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall. |
| 5You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; | 5You need not fear the terrors of the night, the arrow that flies by day, |
| 6Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. | 6the plague that comes in the darkness, or the disease that comes at noon. |
| 7A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. | 7Though a thousand may fall beside you, and a multitude on your right side, it will not reach you. |
| 8You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked. | 8Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes--you will see the wicked paid back. |
| 9For you have made the LORD, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place. | 9For you have taken refuge in the LORD, my shelter, the sovereign One. |
| 10No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. | 10No harm will overtake you; no illness will come near your home. |
| 11For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways. | 11For he will order his angels to protect you in all you do. |
| 12They will bear you up in their hands, That you do not strike your foot against a stone. | 12They will lift you up in their hands, so you will not slip and fall on a stone. |
| 13You will tread upon the lion and cobra, The young lion and the serpent you will trample down. | 13You will subdue a lion and a snake; you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent. |
| 14"Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. | 14The LORD says, "Because he is devoted to me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he is loyal to me. |
| 15"He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. | 15When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor. |
| 16"With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation." | 16I will satisfy him with long life, and will let him see my salvation. |
