Psalms 91

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

He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.

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

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

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

For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.

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 will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.

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

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

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

or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.

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

A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.

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

You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.

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

For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.

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

No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.

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

For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard you in all your ways.

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

They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.

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

You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.

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

Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.

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.

When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.

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

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