# the Son of God
This refers to Jesus, the Son of God. It is best to translate “Son” with the same word that your language uses to refer to a human son.
# throw yourself down
"let yourself fall to the ground" or "jump down"

# 'He will command his angels to take care of you,' and
This can be translated with a direct quotation, and you can specify that it is God who will command. Alternate translation: "'God will say to his angels, "Take care of him,"' and" or "'God will command his angels to take care of you,' and" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations]])

"The angels will hold you"
