Psalms 91

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

He who sitteth under the shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

I say to the LORD, Thou art my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

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

Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the wasting pestilence;

4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

He will cover thee with his feathers, And under his wings shalt thou find refuge; His faithfulness shall be thy shield and buckler.

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

Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night, Nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

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

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the plague that destroyeth at noonday.

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

A thousand shall fall by thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But thee it shall not touch.

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

Thou shalt only behold with thine eyes, And see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

Because thou hast made the LORD thy refuge, And the Most High thy habitation,

10 no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

No evil shall befall thee, Nor any plague come near thy dwelling.

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

For he will give his angels charge over thee, To guard thee in all thy ways.

12 They will bear you up in their hands, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.

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

13 You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

14 “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.

“Because he loveth me, I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knoweth my name.

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

When he calleth upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honor.

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

With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.”
