Psalms 91

1 Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie.

2 He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

I will say vnto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust.

3 For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.

4 He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.

Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:

6 [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone day.

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

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee.

8 Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.

Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked.

9 For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.

For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.

10 No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.

There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.

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

For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes.

12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.

13 You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.

Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete.

14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.

16 I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.

With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.
