The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
1 You who live in the shelter of 'Elyon, who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai,
1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 who say to ADONAI, "My refuge! 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 Him I will trust."
3 he will rescue you from the trap of the hunter and from the plague of calamities;
3
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.
4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his truth is a shield and protection.
4
He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terrors of night or the arrow that flies by day,
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the plague that roams in the dark, or the scourge that wreaks havoc at noon.
6
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it won't come near you.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
8 Only keep your eyes open, and you will see how the wicked are punished.
8
Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
9 For you have made ADONAI, the Most High, who is my refuge, your dwelling-place.
9
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No disaster will happen to you, no calamity will come near your tent;
10
No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 for he will order his angels to care for you and guard you wherever you go.
11
For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
12 They will carry you in their hands, so that you won't trip on a stone.
12
In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread down lions and snakes, young lions and serpents you will trample underfoot.
13
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 "Because he loves me, I will rescue him; because he knows my name, I will protect him.
14
"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble. I will extricate him and bring him honor.
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.
16 I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation."
16
With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."
