Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

MSG (1-13)You who sit down in the High God’s presence,
spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow,
Say this: “God, you’re my refuge.
I trust in you and I’m safe!”
That’s right—he rescues you from hidden traps,
shields you from deadly hazards.
His huge outstretched arms protect you—
under them you’re perfectly safe;
his arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night,
not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the darkness,
not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around,
drop like flies right and left,
no harm will even graze you.
You’ll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance,
watch the wicked turn into corpses.
Yes, because God’s your refuge,
the High God your very own home,
Evil can’t get close to you,
harm can’t get through the door.
He ordered his angels
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they’ll catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

יַ֭צִּֽילְךָ
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it he,will_deliver_you from_[the],snare_of fowler from,a_plague_of deadly )
As the Introduction to this psalm discusses, the pronoun you is singular here and throughout the psalm because the psalmist is speaking individually to people whom he wants to encourage to trust Yahweh. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
מִפַּ֥ח יָק֗וּשׁ מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוּֽוֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it he,will_deliver_you from_[the],snare_of fowler from,a_plague_of deadly )
The psalmist is not referring to a specific plague. He means plagues in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [from traps that people set for you and from deadly plagues]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מִפַּ֥ח יָק֗וּשׁ
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it he,will_deliver_you from_[the],snare_of fowler from,a_plague_of deadly )
The psalmist is speaking as if the individual whom he is addressing were a bird or small animal that a trapper was trying to catch in a snare. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from anyone who would deceptively try to harm you]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוּֽוֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it he,will_deliver_you from_[the],snare_of fowler from,a_plague_of deadly )
The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be helpful in your language. Alternate translation: [and he will also rescue you from the plague of calamities]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוּֽוֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it he,will_deliver_you from_[the],snare_of fowler from,a_plague_of deadly )
The psalmist is using this possessive form to describe a plague that would cause calamities, meaning, specifically, many deaths. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [from every deadly plague]
