Psalms 91

1 Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;

6 [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.

Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation;

10 No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
