New King James Version

International Standard Version

1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under 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 of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

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

3Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.

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

4He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your 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 shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

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

6Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

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

7A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.

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

8Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward 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, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

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

10No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

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

11For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.

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

12In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

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

13You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

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

14“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

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

15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver 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.
