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 shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, who is my refuge and my stronghold, my God, in whom I ever trust,

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

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

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

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

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

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 for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

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

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth 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.

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

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

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

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

Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

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

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

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

For he shall give his angels charge over 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.

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

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

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

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 he hath set his love upon me, 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 upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

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

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