| 2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him will I trust." | 2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." |

| 4 He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust; His truth shall be thy shield and 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 of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day, | 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, |
| 6 nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that layeth waste 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 Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my refuge, even 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 dwelling. | 10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. |
| 11 For He shall 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 dragon shalt thou trample underfoot. | 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." |
