5 You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

and you make the Most High your dwelling,

10 no harm will overtake you,

no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,

Even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

7 Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

8 Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.

9 If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

10 no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

11 For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

12 They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

12 In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

5 You will not fear any danger by night

or an arrow during the day.

6 You will not be afraid of diseases that come in the dark

or sickness that strikes at noon.

7 At your side one thousand people may die,

or even ten thousand right beside you,

but you will not be hurt.

8 You will only watch

and see the wicked punished.

9 The Lord is your protection;

you have made God Most High your place of safety.

10 Nothing bad will happen to you;

no disaster will come to your home.

11 He has put his angels in charge of you

to watch over you wherever you go.

12 They will catch you in their hands

so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.

13 You will walk on lions and cobras;

you will step on strong lions and snakes.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!

Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 For he will give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day, 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place, 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways: 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

even though a thousand may fall dead beside you 

or ten thousand at your right side. 

8 You only have to look with your eyes

and ten thousand at your right hand,

the pestilence will not reach you.

8 You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.

the Most High—your dwelling place,

10 no harm will come to you;

to protect you in all your ways.

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.

6 You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness.

You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.

7 A thousand may fall dead at your side.

Ten thousand may fall near your right hand.

But no harm will come to you.

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But it shall not approach you.

8 You will only look on with your eyes

And see the recompense of the wicked.

9 For you have made the Lord, my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place.

10 No evil will befall you,

Nor will any plague come near your tent.

11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

12 They will bear you up in their hands,

That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
