Psalms 91

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

He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay 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 Yahweh, “He 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.

For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.

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 you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.

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

You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,

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

or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.

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 your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.

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

You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.

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

For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.

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

No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.

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

For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard 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.

They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.

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

You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.

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

Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.

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 calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.

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

I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.
