New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 (90-1) <The praise of a canticle for David.> He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
|
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
|
|
2 (90-2) He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: 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."
|
|
3 (90-3) For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
|
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
|
|
4 (90-4) He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
|
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 (90-5) His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
|
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
|
|
6 (90-6) Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
|
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
|
|
7 (90-7) 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 (90-8) But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
|
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
|
|
9 (90-9) Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
|
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge--
|
|
10 (90-10) There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
|
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
|
|
11 (90-11) For he hath given 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 (90-12) In their hands they shall bear thee up: 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 (90-13) Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
|
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
|
|
14 (90-14) Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him 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 (90-15) He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify 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 (90-16) I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
|
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
