Christian Standard Bible | New International Version |
1The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. | 1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. |
2I will say concerning the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust: | 2I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." |
3He himself will rescue you from the bird trap, from the destructive plague. | 3Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. |
4He will cover you with his feathers; you will take refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield. | 4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. |
5You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, | 5You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, |
6the plague that stalks in darkness, or the pestilence that ravages at noon. | 6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. |
7Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you. | 7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. |
8You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked. | 8You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. |
9Because you have made the LORD--my refuge, the Most High--your dwelling place, | 9If you say, "The LORD is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling, |
10no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent. | 10no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. |
11For he will give his angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways. | 11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; |
12They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. | 12they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. |
13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the young lion and the serpent. | 13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. |
14Because he has his heart set on me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows my name. | 14"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. |
15When he calls out to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and give him honor. | 15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. |
16I will satisfy him with a long life and show him my salvation. | 16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." |
