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, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

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

He is saying of Jehovah, '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 delivereth thee 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.

With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

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

Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

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

Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

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

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

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

But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

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

(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

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

Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

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

For His messengers He chargeth for 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 the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

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

On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

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

Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I 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 doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

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

With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
