Psalms 91

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

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,

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

He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”

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

For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

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

He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.

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

You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,

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

Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,

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

One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.

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

But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,

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

(For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.

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

Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,

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

For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,

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

On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

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

You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.

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

Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has 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 calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.

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

I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
