Psalms 91

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

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

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.”

Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.

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

For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.

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

With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.

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

Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;

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

Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.

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

There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

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

Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.

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

Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,

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

There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;

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

For, his messengers, will he charge concerning 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.

On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;

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

On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.

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

Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high, Because he hath 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 me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

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

With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.
