New Living Translation | Holman Christian Standard Bible |
1Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. | 1The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. |
2This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. | 2I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." |
3For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. | 3He Himself will deliver you from the hunter's net, from the destructive plague. |
4He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. | 4He will cover you with His feathers; you will take refuge under His wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield. |
5Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. | 5You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, |
6Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. | 6the plague that stalks in darkness, or the pestilence that ravages at noon. |
7Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. | 7Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you. |
8Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. | 8You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked. |
9If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, | 9Because you have made the LORD--my refuge, the Most High--your dwelling place, |
10no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. | 10no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent. |
11For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. | 11For He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways. |
12They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. | 12They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. |
13You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! | 13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the young lion and the serpent. |
14The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. | 14Because he is lovingly devoted to Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows My name. |
15When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. | 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. |
16I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” | 16I will satisfy him with a long life and show him My salvation. |
