Psalms 91

1 He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

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

Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the dangerous pestilence.

For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.

With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.

5 You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;

Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.

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

There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.

9 Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;

Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,

10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.

There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;

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

For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;

12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.

On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.

14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high, Because he hath known 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.

He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

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

With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.
