Psalms

1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most Highwill 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.”

3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,and from the deadly pestilence.

4He will cover you with his feathers.Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

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

8You will only look with your eyes,and see the recompense of the wicked.

9Because you have made the LORD your refuge,and the Most High your dwelling place,

10no evil shall happen to you,neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

11For he will put his angels in charge of you,to guard you in all your ways.

12They will bear you up in their hands,so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

13You will tread on the lion and cobra.You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him.I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

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

16I will satisfy him with long life,and show him my salvation.”

1và núp bóng Đấng quyền năng tuyệt đối,

2là đồn luỹ chở che, con tin tưởng vào Ngài.”

3khỏi lưới kẻ thù giăng, khỏi tai ương tàn khốc.

4lòng Chúa tín trung là khiên che thuẫn đỡ.

5hay mũi tên bay giữa ban ngày,

6cả ôn thần sát hại lúc ban trưa.

7riêng phần bạn, tuyệt nhiên không hề hấn.

8thế nào là số phận bọn ác nhân.

9có Đấng Tối Cao làm chỗ nương thân.

10và tai ương không bén mảng tới nhà,

11giữ gìn bạn trên khắp nẻo đường,

12cho bạn khỏi vấp chân vào đá.

13đạp nát đầu sư tử khủng long.

14người nhận biết danh Ta sẽ được sức phù trì.

15Ta giải cứu và ban nhiều vinh dự,

16và hưởng ơn cứu độ Ta ban.”
