Psalms 91

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

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

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

Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.

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

For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.

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

With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.

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

Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, 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, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste 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, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

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

Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.

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

Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,

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

There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;

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

For, his messengers, will he charge concerning 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.

On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;

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

On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.

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

Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, 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 me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

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

With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.
