Psalms 91

1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

He who sitteth under the secret protection of the Most High, shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

I will say of the Lord, who is my refuge and my stronghold, my God, in whom I ever trust,

3 That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

That he will surely deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the pestilence of destruction.

4 He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.

With his pinions will he cover thee, and under his wings shalt thou find shelter: shield and buckler is his truth.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night; nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Nor of the pestilence that stalketh in darkness; nor of the deadly disease that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

There shall fall at thy side a thousand, and ten thousand at thy right hand; unto thee [however] shall it not come nigh.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

Only with thy eyes shalt thou behold it, and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

Because thou hast [said], The Lord is my protection, the Most High hast thou made thy refuge:

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

No evil shall befall thee, nor shall any plague come nigh unto thy tent.

11 For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For his angels will he give charge concerning thee, to guard thee on all thy ways.

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

Upon [their] hands shall they bear thee, that thou mayest not dash against a stone thy foot.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

Upon the fierce lion and asp shalt thou tread: thou shalt trample under foot the young lion and serpent.

14 'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

Because he hath fixed his desire upon me, therefore will I release him: I will set him on high, because he knoweth my name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

He will call on me, and I will answer him: with him will I be in distress; I will deliver him, and grant him honor.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'

With length of days will I satisfy him, and I will let him see my salvation.
