Psalms 91

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

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

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

He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

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

For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous 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 He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

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

Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

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

Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

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

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

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

But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

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

(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

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

Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

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

For His messengers He chargeth for 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 the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite 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 lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

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 in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I 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 doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

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

With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
