| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 A psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation -- so why should I be afraid? The LORD protects me from danger -- so why should I tremble? | 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid? |
| 2 When evil people come to destroy me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. | 2 When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. |
| 3 Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will know no fear. Even if they attack me, I remain confident. | 3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. |
