Psalms 91

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

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of Shaddai.

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, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."

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

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

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

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His truth is an encompassing shield.

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

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;

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

nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

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

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

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

You will only look with your eyes, 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 you have made the LORD, my refuge, the Most High, your dwelling place,

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

no evil shall overtake you; no plague shall come near your dwelling.

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

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

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

In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

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

You will tread upon the lion and the viper. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

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 has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known 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. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

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

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