The Message Bible MSG
New International Version NIV
1 You who sit down in the High God's presence, spend the night in Shaddai's shadow,
1
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Say this: "God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!"
2
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 That's right - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards.
3
Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 His huge outstretched arms protect you - under them you're perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm.
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 Fear nothing - not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day,
5
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 Not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon.
6
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
