GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.
1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, "[You are] my refuge and 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 is the one who will rescue you from hunters' traps and from deadly plagues.
3
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor.
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 do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day,
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 plagues that roam the dark, epidemics that strike at noon.
6
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 They will not come near you, even though a thousand may fall dead beside you or ten thousand at your right side.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
8 You only have to look with your eyes to see the punishment of wicked people.
8
Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
9 You, O LORD, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home.
9
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house.
10
No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 He will put his angels in charge of you to protect you in all your ways.
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 never hit your foot against a rock.
12
In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will step on lions and cobras. You will trample young lions and snakes.
13
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 Because you love me, I will rescue you. I will protect you because you know my name.
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 When you call to me, I will answer you. I will be with you when you are in trouble. I will save you and honor you.
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 you with a long life. I will show you how I will save you.
16
With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."
