Psalms 91

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

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of Shaddai.

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

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

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

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 will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His truth is an encompassing shield.

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

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;

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

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

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

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

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

You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

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

Because you have made YHWH, my refuge, the Most High, your dwelling place,

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

no evil shall overtake you; no plague shall come near your dwelling.

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

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

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

In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

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

You will tread upon the lion and the viper. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

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.

"Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, 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 will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

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