Psalms 91

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

He who sitteth under the secret protection of the Most High, shall rest under 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 stronghold, my God, in whom I ever trust,

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

That he will surely deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the pestilence of destruction.

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

With his pinions will he cover thee, and under his wings shalt thou find shelter: shield and buckler is his truth.

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 of the 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.

Nor of the pestilence that stalketh in darkness; nor of the deadly disease 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.

There shall fall at thy side a thousand, and ten thousand at thy right hand; unto thee [however] shall it not come nigh.

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

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

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

Because thou hast [said], The Lord is my protection, the Most High hast thou made thy refuge:

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

No evil shall befall thee, nor shall any plague come nigh unto thy tent.

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

For his angels will he give charge concerning thee, to guard thee on all thy ways.

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

Upon [their] hands shall they bear thee, that thou mayest not dash against a stone thy foot.

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

Upon the fierce lion and asp shalt thou tread: thou shalt trample under foot the young lion and serpent.

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

Because he hath fixed his desire upon me, therefore will I release him: I will set him on high, because he knoweth 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 will call on me, and I will answer him: with him will I be in distress; I will deliver him, and grant him honor.

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

With length of days will I satisfy him, and I will let him see my salvation.
