| 1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. | 1The one who lives in the shelter of the Most High, who rests in the shadow of the Almighty, |
| 2I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” | 2will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge, my fortress, and my God in whom I trust!" |
| 3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. | 3He will surely deliver you from the hunter's snare and from the destructive plague. |
| 4He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. | 4With his feathers he will cover you, under his wings you will find safety. His truth is your shield and armor. |
| 5You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, | 5You need not fear terror that stalks in the night, the arrow that flies in the day, |
| 6nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. | 6plague that strikes in the darkness, or calamity that destroys at noon. |
| 7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. | 7If a thousand fall at your side or ten thousand at your right hand, it will not overcome you. |
| 8You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. | 8Only observe it with your eyes, and you will see how the wicked are paid back. |
| 9Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— | 9"LORD, you are my refuge!" Because you chose the Most High as your dwelling place, |
| 10no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. | 10no evil will fall upon you, and no affliction will approach your tent, |
| 11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. | 11for he will command his angels to protect you in all your ways. |
| 12On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. | 12With their hands they will lift you up so you will not trip over a stone. |
| 13You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. | 13You will stomp on lions and snakes; you will trample young lions and serpents. |
| 14“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. | 14Because he has focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name. |
| 15When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. | 15When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in his distress. I will deliver him, and I will honor him. |
| 16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” | 16I will satisfy him with long life; I will show him my deliverance. |
