New Living Translation

1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest 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.

2I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, 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.

3Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.

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

4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

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

5You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

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

6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

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

7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

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

8You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

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

9If you say, "The LORD is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling,

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

10no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.

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

11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

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

12they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

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

13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

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

14"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

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

15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

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

16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."

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