New Living Translation NLT
Common English Bible CEB
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
1
Living in the Most High's shelter, camping in the Almighty's shade,
2 This I declare about the LORD : He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
2
I say to the LORD, "You are my refuge, my stronghold! You are my God—the one I trust!"
3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
3
God will save you from the hunter's trap and from deadly sickness.
4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
4
God will protect you with his pinions; you'll find refuge under his wings. His faithfulness is a protective shield.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
5
Don't be afraid of terrors at night, arrows that fly in daylight,
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
6
or sickness that prowls in the dark, destruction that ravages at noontime.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
7
Even if one thousand people fall dead next to you, ten thousand right beside you— it won't happen to you.
8 Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
8
Just look with your eyes, and you will see the wicked punished.
9 If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
9
Because you've made the LORD my refuge, the Most High, your place of residence—
10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
10
no evil will happen to you; no disease will come close to your tent.
11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
11
Because he will order his messengers to help you, to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
12
They will carry you with their own hands so you don't bruise your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
13
You'll march on top of lions and vipers; you'll trample young lions and serpents underfoot.
14 The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
14
God says,"Because you are devoted to me, I'll rescue you. I'll protect you because you know my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
15
Whenever you cry out to me, I'll answer. I'll be with you in troubling times. I'll save you and glorify you.
16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
16
I'll fill you full with old age. I'll show you my salvation."
