New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
1
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
2
This I declare about the LORD : He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.
3
For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
4
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
5
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
6
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
7
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
8
Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
9
If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
10
no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
11
For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
12
They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
13
You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
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.
14
The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
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.
15
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
16 With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."
16
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
