| [1]He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually, |
[1]Whoso dwelleth in the secret of the Most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty. |
| [2]He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,' |
[2]I will say unto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortress: he is my God, in him will I trust. |
| [3]For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence. |
[3]Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noisome pestilence. |
| [4]With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth. |
[4]He will cover thee under his wings, and th0u shalt be sure under his feathers: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. |
| [5]Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day, |
[5]Thou shalt not be afraid of the fear of the night, nor of the arrow that flyeth by day: |
| [6]Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon, |
[6]Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkness: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noonday. |
| [7]There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh. |
[7]A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee. |
| [8]But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest, |
[8]Doubtless with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. |
| [9](For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation. |
[9]For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the Most High for thy refuge. |
| [10]Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent, |
[10]There shall none evil come unto thee, neither shall any plague come near thy tabernacle. |
| [11]For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways, |
[11]For he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways. |
| [12]On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot. |
[12]They shall bear thee in their hands, that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone. |
| [13]On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon. |
[13]Thou shalt walk upon the lion and asp: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under feet. |
| [14]Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name. |
[14]Because he hath loved me, therefore will I deliver him: I will exalt him because he hath known my name. |
| [15]He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him. |
[15]He shall call upon me, and I will hear him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and glorify him. |
| [16]With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation! |
[16]With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. |
