< 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 shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode 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 say to the LORD, Thou art 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.
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 find refuge; His faithfulness is a 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 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 walketh in darkness, Nor of the plague that destroyeth 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 shall fall by thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But thee it shall not touch.
8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment 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 dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
Because thou hast made the LORD thy refuge, And the Most High thy habitation,
10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
No evil shall befall thee, Nor any plague come near thy dwelling.
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 guard 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 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 serpent.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.
14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
“Because he loveth me, I will deliver 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.
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 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.”
