Psalms 91

1 He who sitteth under the secret protection of the Most High, shall rest 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, who is my refuge and my stronghold, my God, in whom I ever trust,

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

3 That he will surely deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the pestilence of destruction.

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

4 With his pinions will he cover thee, and under his wings shalt thou find shelter: shield and buckler is his truth.

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

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

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

6 Nor of the pestilence that stalketh in darkness; nor of the deadly disease that wasteth at noonday.

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

7 There shall fall at thy side a thousand, and ten thousand at thy right hand; unto thee [however] shall it not come nigh.

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

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

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

9 Because thou hast [said], The Lord is my protection, the Most High hast thou made thy refuge:

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

10 No evil shall befall thee, nor shall any plague come nigh unto thy tent.

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

11 For his angels will he give charge concerning thee, to guard thee on all thy ways.

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

12 Upon [their] hands shall they bear thee, that thou mayest not dash against a stone thy foot.

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

13 Upon the fierce lion and asp shalt thou tread: thou shalt trample under foot the young lion and serpent.

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

14 Because he hath fixed his desire upon me, therefore will I release him: I will set him on high, because he knoweth 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 will call on me, and I will answer him: with him will I be in distress; I will deliver him, and grant him honor.

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 length of days will I satisfy him, and I will let him see my salvation.

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