| 1 | Se, joka asuu Korkeimman suojassa ja yöpyy Kaikkivaltiaan varjossa, | Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High; |
| 2 | Herra pelastaa sinut linnustajan ansasta ja pahan sanan vallasta. | Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope. |
| 3 | Hän levittää siipensä yllesi, ja sinä olet turvassa niiden alla. Hänen uskollisuutensa on sinulle muuri ja kilpi. | He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease. |
| 4 | Et pelkää yön kauhuja etkä päivällä lentävää nuolta, | You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation. |
| 5 | et ruttoa, joka liikkuu pimeässä, et tautia, joka riehuu keskellä päivää. | You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day, |
| 6 | Vaikka viereltäsi kaatuisi tuhat miestä ja ympäriltäsi kymmenentuhatta, sinä säästyt. | Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high. |
| 7 | Saat omin silmin nähdä, miten kosto kohtaa jumalattomia. | You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. |
| 8 | Sinun turvanasi on Herra, sinun kotisi on Korkeimman suojassa. | Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers. |
| 9 | Onnettomuus ei sinuun iske, mikään vitsaus ei uhkaa sinun majaasi. | Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place; |
| 10 | Hän antaa enkeleilleen käskyn varjella sinua, missä ikinä kuljet, | No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent. |
| 11 | ja he kantavat sinua käsillään, ettet loukkaa jalkaasi kiveen. | For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go. |
| 12 | Sinä poljet jalkoihisi leijonan ja kyyn, tallaat maahan jalopeuran ja lohikäärmeen. | In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone. |
| 13 | Kun hän huutaa minua, minä vastaan. Minä olen hänen tukenaan ahdingossa, pelastan hänet ja nostan taas kunniaan. | You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet. |
| 14 | Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart. | |
| 15 | When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour. | |
| 16 | With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation. |
