New Living Translation NLT
1 (90-1) <The praise of a canticle for David.> He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
1
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 (90-2) He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I 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 (90-3) For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
3
For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
4 (90-4) He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
4
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 (90-5) His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
5
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 (90-6) Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
6
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 (90-7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
7
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
8 (90-8) But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
8
Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
9 (90-9) Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
9
If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 (90-10) There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
10
no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
11 (90-11) For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
11
For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 (90-12) In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy 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 (90-13) Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
13
You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 (90-14) Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
14
The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 (90-15) He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
15
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
16 (90-16) I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
16
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
