27 Those who are far from you will perish;

you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.

I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;

I will tell of all your deeds.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all thy works.

27 Those who desert him will perish,

for you destroy those who abandon you.

28 But as for me, how good it is to be near God!

I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,

and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish;

You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God;

I have put my trust in the Lord God,

That I may declare all Your works.

27 Those who are far from God will die;

you destroy those who are unfaithful.

28 But I am close to God, and that is good.

The Lord God is my protection.

I will tell all that you have done.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:

Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.

28 But it is good for me to draw near unto God:

I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge,

That I may tell of all thy works.

27 For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee. 28 But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

27 Without a doubt, those who are far from you will die. 

You destroy all who are unfaithful to you. 

28 Being united with God is my highest good. 

I have made the Almighty Lord my refuge 

so that I may report everything that he has done. 

27 Those far from You will certainly perish;

You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.

28 But as for me, God’s presence is my good.

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

so I can tell about all You do.

27 Indeed, those who are far from you will perish;

you put an end to those who are false to you.

28 But for me it is good to be near God;

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

to tell of all your works.

27 For indeed, those distancing themselves from you will be ruined.

You destroy each who abandons you for harlotry.

28 But as for me, the approach to God is for my good.

I have set the Lord Yahweh as my refuge,

in order to tell all your works.

27 Those who don’t want anything to do with you will die.

You destroy all those who aren’t faithful to you.

28 But I am close to you. And that’s good.

Lord and King, I have made you my place of safety.

I will talk about everything you have done.

27 For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;

You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.

28 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

That I may tell of all Your works.
