Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Sannelig, Han skal befri deg fra de fellene som blir lagt for deg, og fra ødeleggende og smittsomme sykdommer. Som en fugl beskytter ungene sine, slik skal Han dekke deg med sine fjær. Under Hans vinger skal du finne trygghet. Hans trofasthet skalbeskytte deg og verne deg. Du skal ikke være redd for frykten som kommer snikende om natten, eller for angrep som kommer om dagen. Du skal heller ikke frykte sykdommer som brer seg i mørket, eller for smittsomme sykdommer som herjer.
