Psalms 91

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

Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie.

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 vnto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust.

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

Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.

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

Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler.

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

Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:

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

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone day.

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 tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee.

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

Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked.

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

For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.

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

There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.

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

For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes.

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

They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.

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

Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete.

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

Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen 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 vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.

16 I will grant them long lives, and show them my salvation.

With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.
