1 H e who lives in the safe place of the Most High will be in the shadow of the All-powerful.

السّاكِنُ تَحتَ سِترِ العَلِيِّ، تُظَلِّلُهُ حِمايَةُ القَدِيرِ.

2 I will say to the Lord, “You are my safe and strong place, my God, in Whom I trust.”

أقُولُ للهِ الَّذِي أتَّكِلُ عَلَيهِ: «أنتَ إلَهِي وَمَلْجَأِي وَحِصنِي!»

3 F or it is He Who takes you away from the trap, and from the killing sickness.

مِنَ الفَخِّ سَيُنقِذُكَ. سَيُنقِذُكَ مِنَ المُصِيبَةِ وَالأوْبِئَةِ.

4 H e will cover you with His wings. And under His wings you will be safe. He is faithful like a safe-covering and a strong wall.

سَيَفرِدُ جَناحَيهِ فَوقَكَ، وَيَدَعُكَ تَحتَمِي تَحتَ جَناحَيهِ. وَسَيَكُونُ إخلاصُهُ سِياجاً حامِياً حَولَكَ!

5 Y ou will not be afraid of trouble at night, or of the arrow that flies by day.

لَنْ تَخشَى مِنْ رُعبِ اللَّيلِ، وَلا مِنْ سِهامِ العَدُوِّ الطّائِرَةِ فِي النَّهارِ!

6 Y ou will not be afraid of the sickness that walks in darkness, or of the trouble that destroys at noon.

لَنْ تَخشَى مِنْ مَرَضٍ يَنتَشِرُ فِي الخَفاءِ. وَلا مِنْ وَباءٍ يَضرِبُ عِندَ الظُّهرِ.

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

ألفٌ مِنْ جُنُودِ الأعادِي سَيَسقُطُونَ حَولَكَ. وَعَشْرَةُ آلافٍ سَيَسقُطُونَ بِسَيفِكَ، لَنْ يُؤذِيَكَ أيٌّ مِنهُمْ!

8 Y ou will only look on with your eyes, and see how the sinful are punished.

أجَلْ، بِأُمِّ عَينَيكَ سَتَرَى كُلَّ هَذا! سَتَرَى الأشرارَ يَنالُونَ ما يَستَحِقُّونَ!

9 B ecause you have made the Lord your safe place, and the Most High the place where you live,

لأنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ اللهَ مَلجَأكَ، وَالعَلِيَّ مَسكَنَكَ الآمِنَ.

10 n othing will hurt you. No trouble will come near your tent.

لِهَذا ما مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ سَتُصِيبُكَ. وَما مِنْ وَباءٍ سَيَدخُلُ مَسكَنَكَ.

11 F or He will tell His angels to care for you and keep you in all your ways.

لأنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَي يَحرُسُوكَ حَيثُما تَذهَبُ!

12 T hey will hold you up in their hands. So your foot will not hit against a stone.

سَيَحْمِلونَكَ عَلَى أيادِيْهِمْ، لِئَلّا تَرتَطِمَ قَدَمُكَ بِحَجَرٍ.

13 Y ou will walk upon the lion and the snake. You will crush under your feet the young lion and the snake.

عَلَى الأسَدِ وَالأفعَى تَدُوسُ، وَتَطَأُ الشِبلَ وَالتَّنِّينَ!

14 B ecause he has loved Me, I will bring him out of trouble. I will set him in a safe place on high, because he has known My name.

فَكَما يَقُولُ اللهُ: «يُحِبُّنِي، لِهَذا سَأُنقِذُهُ! سَأرفَعُهُ لأنَّهُ يَعتَرِفُ باسمِي.

15 H e will call upon Me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will take him out of trouble and honor him.

يَستَنجِدُ بِي فَأسْتَجِيبُ. فِي وَقتِ الضِّيقِ أكُونُ مَعَهُ. أُنقِذُهُ وَأُكَرِّمُهُ.

16 I will please him with a long life. And I will show him My saving power.

أعطِيهِ عُمراً طَوِيلاً، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.»
