Ruth 2:12 (NAS)
May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge.

Ruth 2:12 (NIVUS)
May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.

Through His new covenant, the Lord God has brought you into peace with Himself, making you complete and sound. He has restored you and you are safe in His hands. He has rewarded your faith, giving you recompense for all that the enemy has taken from you.

Jehovah sees all the works that you do for His kingdom and He compensates you for every deed. You know that His wages are good and that you will be blessed abundantly. He is bringing you into a state of perfection and fullness. He will keep you safe and unharmed until your race is finished.

Let the shalom (peace) of the Lord God of Israel sustain you. Your God is mighty, strong, and powerful. He prevails over all that contend with Him. Under His wings, you are secure, for He has extended His borders over you. He has thrust you into a corner of His home, keeping you hidden from view.

Therefore, flee to Him for refuge and protection. Draw near to the One in whom you trust and confide. He is your hope.
