| 2. Formal Translation When you pass through the waters, I {Yahweh, Ever-Present Helper} will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not surge over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, and the flame will not blaze against you. |
| 2. Dynamic Translation If you pass through deep waters, I {Yahweh, Constant Companion} will be right there with you; if you cross raging rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through fire, it will not burn you, and the flames will not harm you. |
