Psalms 91

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

4 He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

5 Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

6 for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.

9 For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.

10 There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,

No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.

11 for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.

Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.

14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.

For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.

I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.
