Psalms 91

1 Those who live under the protection of the Most High are kept safe by the Almighty.

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

2 This is what I say about the Lord: “He is the one who defends and protects me. He is my God, and I trust in him.”

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

3 For he will save you from hidden traps and deadly diseases.

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

4 He will hide you under his feathers, and shelter you with his wings. His trustworthiness shields and protects you.

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 will not be afraid of terror at night or an arrow that flies in the day,

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

6 or disease that attacks at night, or catastrophe that falls at noon.

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

7 A thousand may fall beside you, ten thousand die at your right hand, but you won't be harmed.

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

8 You only have to open your eyes and you will see how the wicked are repaid.

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

9 Because you have made the Lord your protection, and the Most High your home,

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

10 nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near where you live.

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

11 For he will command his angels to take care of you in everything you do.

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

12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won't trip and fall down.

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

13 You will trample lions and snakes; you will tread young lions and serpents underfoot.

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

14 I will save anyone who loves me; I will protect anyone who accepts me.

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 When they call out to me for help, I will answer; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will save and honor them.

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 grant them long lives, and show them my salvation.

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