Psalms 91

1 HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

He who sitteth under the shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

I say to the LORD, Thou art my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the wasting pestilence;

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

He will cover thee with his feathers, And under his wings shalt thou find refuge; His faithfulness shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for 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 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the plague that destroyeth at noonday.

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

A thousand shall fall by thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But thee it shall not touch.

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

Thou shalt only behold with thine eyes, And see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

Because thou hast made the LORD thy refuge, And the Most High thy habitation,

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

No evil shall befall thee, Nor any plague come near thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For he will give his angels charge over thee, To guard thee in all thy ways.

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

They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

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 loveth me, I will deliver 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 deliver him, and honour him.

When he calleth upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honor.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.”
