He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Nke a ka m ga-ekwu maka Onyenwe anyị, “Ọ bụ ebe mgbaba m na ebe nchebe m e wusiri ike, Chineke m, onye m na-atụkwasị obi m.”
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Nʼezie, ọ ga-anapụta gị site nʼọnya nke onye osi ọnya na site nʼaka ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe na-eweta ịla nʼiyi.
For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.

He will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.

You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,
6 maọbụ ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe, nke na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe mbibi mberede na-eme nʼehihie.
or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.

A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.

You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Ọ bụrụ na i mee Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ebe obibi gị, ọ bụladị Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ ebe mgbaba m,
For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.
10 mgbe ahụ, ihe ọjọọ ọbụla enweghị ike ịdakwasị gị; ihe ike ọbụla enweghị ike ịbịaru ụlọ obibi gị nso.
No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.
11 Nʼihi na ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ka ha chebe gị nʼụzọ gị niile.
For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard you in all your ways.
12 Ha ga-eji ọbụ aka ha, bulie gị elu ime ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.
They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.
13 Ị ga-azọkwasị ọdụm na ajụala ụkwụ, zọgbukwaa ọdụm na-akpa ike, na agwọ ọjọọ.
You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.
14 “Nʼihi na ọ hụrụ m nʼanya, Mụ onwe m ga-agbapụta ya, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru; aga m echebe ya, nʼihi na ọ maara aha m.
Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.
15 Ọ ga-akpọku m, aga m azakwa ya. Aga m anọnyere ya nʼime nsogbu ya, aga m adọpụta, ma sọpụrụkwa ya.
When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.
16 Aga m eji ogologo ndụ mee ka afọ ju ya, gosikwa ya nzọpụta m.”
I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.
