1 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 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 He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

4 You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

5 You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

6 Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.

7 You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.

9 Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;

10 No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

11 For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.

12 In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

13 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.

1 住在至高者的隐密处的, 必在全能者的荫庇下安居。

2 我要对耶和华说: "你是我的避难所, 我的保障, 你是我的 神, 我所倚靠的。"

3 他必救你脱离捕鸟的人的网罗, 脱离致命的瘟疫。

4 他必用自己的羽毛遮盖你, 你要投靠在他的翅膀底下; 他的信实像盾牌, 像坚垒。

5 你不必害怕黑夜的惊恐, 或是白日的飞箭;

6 也不必害怕黑暗中流行的瘟疫, 或是在正午把人毁灭的毒病。

7 虽有千人仆倒在你的左边, 万人仆倒在你的右边, 但灾害必不临近你。

8 不过你要亲眼观看, 看见恶人遭报。

9 你既然把耶和华当作自己的避难所, 把至高者当作自己的居所,

10 祸患必不临到你, 灾害必不临近你的帐棚。

11 因为他为了你, 会吩咐自己的使者, 在你所行的一切路上保护你。

12 他们必用手托住你, 免得你的脚碰到石头。

13 你必践踏狮子和虺蛇。你必踏碎少壮狮子和大蛇。

14 耶和华说: "因为他恋慕我, 我必搭救他; 因为他认识我的名, 我必保护他。

15 他求告我, 我必应允他; 他在患难中, 我必与他同在; 我必拯救他, 使他得尊荣。

16 我必使他得享长寿, 又向他显明我的救恩。"
