New Living Translation

1The one who lives in the shelter of the Most High, who rests in the shadow of the Almighty,

1Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge, my fortress, and my God in whom I trust!"

2This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

3He will surely deliver you from the hunter's snare and from the destructive plague.

3For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.

4With his feathers he will cover you, under his wings you will find safety. His truth is your shield and armor.

4He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

5You need not fear terror that stalks in the night, the arrow that flies in the day,

5Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.

6plague that strikes in the darkness, or calamity that destroys at noon.

6Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

7If a thousand fall at your side or ten thousand at your right hand, it will not overcome you.

7Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.

8Only observe it with your eyes, and you will see how the wicked are paid back.

8Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.

9"LORD, you are my refuge!" Because you chose the Most High as your dwelling place,

9If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,

10no evil will fall upon you, and no affliction will approach your tent,

10no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.

11for he will command his angels to protect you in all your ways.

11For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.

12With their hands they will lift you up so you will not trip over a stone.

12They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

13You will stomp on lions and snakes; you will trample young lions and serpents.

13You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

14Because he has focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name.

14The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.

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.

15When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.

16I will satisfy him with long life; I will show him my deliverance.

16I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
