Psalms 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.

That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

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

5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

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

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.

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

8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—

For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

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

They shall bear thee upon 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 serpent.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.

'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

15 When he calls out to Me, 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 answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”

With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
