New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under 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 of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” | 2will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge, my fortress, and my God in whom I trust!" |
3Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. | 3He will surely deliver you from the hunter's snare and from the destructive plague. |
4He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. | 4With his feathers he will cover you, under his wings you will find safety. His truth is your shield and armor. |
5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, | 5You need not fear terror that stalks in the night, the arrow that flies in the day, |
6Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. | 6plague that strikes in the darkness, or calamity that destroys at noon. |
7A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. | 7If a thousand fall at your side or ten thousand at your right hand, it will not overcome you. |
8Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward 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, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, | 9"LORD, you are my refuge!" Because you chose the Most High as your dwelling place, |
10No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; | 10no evil will fall upon you, and no affliction will approach your tent, |
11For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. | 11for he will command his angels to protect you in all your ways. |
12In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. | 12With their hands they will lift you up so you will not trip over a stone. |
13You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. | 13You will stomp on lions and snakes; you will trample young lions and serpents. |
14“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. | 14Because he has focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name. |
15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. | 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. |
16With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” | 16I will satisfy him with long life; I will show him my deliverance. |
