Psalms 91

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name.

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

15 He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.

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.

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

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