New International Version | New Living Translation |
1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest 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 of the LORD, "He 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. |
3Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. | 3For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. |
4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. | 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 night, nor the arrow that flies by day, | 5Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. |
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. | 6Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. |
7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. | 7Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. |
8You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. | 8Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. |
9If you say, "The LORD is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling, | 9If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, |
10no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. | 10no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. |
11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; | 11For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. |
12they will lift you up in 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 great lion and the serpent. | 13You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! |
14"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. | 14The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. |
15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. | 15When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. |
16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." | 16I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” |
