New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
|
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
|
|
2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
|
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
|
|
3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
|
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
|
|
4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
|
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
|
|
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
|
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
|
|
6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
|
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
|
|
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; [But] it shall not come nigh thee.
|
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
|
|
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
|
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
|
|
9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
|
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge--
|
|
10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
|
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
|
|
11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
|
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
|
|
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
|
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
|
|
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
|
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
|
|
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
|
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
|
|
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
|
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
|
|
16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
|
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
