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 who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

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

I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

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

For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

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

He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

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

for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

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

8 Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.

Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

9 For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.

For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

10 No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.

There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,

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

for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

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

13 You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.

Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.

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

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

15 He shall call upon me, and I will listen 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 honor him.

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

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