New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
1
He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
2
He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
3
For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
4
With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
5
Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
6
Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
7
There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
8
But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,
9
(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.
10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.
10
Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
11
For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
12
On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
13
On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
14
Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
15
He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
16
With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
