Psalm 91
- 1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
- Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
- 2I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
- My God, in whom I trust!”
- 3For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
- And from the deadly pestilence.
- 4He will cover you with His pinions,
- And under His wings you may seek refuge;
- His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
- 5You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
- Or of the arrow that flies by day;
- 6Of the pestilence that [1] stalks in darkness,
- Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
- 7A thousand may fall at your side
- And ten thousand at your right hand,
- But it shall not approach you.
- 8You will only look on with your eyes
- And see the recompense of the wicked.
- 9[1] For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
- Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
- 10No evil will befall you,
- Nor will any plague come near your tent.
- 11For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
- To guard you in all your ways.
- 12They will bear you up in their hands,
- That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
- 13You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
- The young lion and the [1] serpent you will trample down.
- 14“Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
- I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
- 15He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
- I will be with him in [1] trouble;
- I will rescue him and honor him.
- 16With [1] a long life I will satisfy him
- And [2] let him see My salvation.”
