New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find 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 This I declare about the LORD : He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
2
He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'
3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
3
For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
4
With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
5
Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
6
Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,
7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
7
There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
8 Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
8
But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
9 If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
9
(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.
10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
10
Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,
11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
11
For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,
12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
12
On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
13
On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.
14 The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in 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 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
15
He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.
16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
16
With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
