Psalms 91

1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”

I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.

He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5 You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,

Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,

for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.

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

8 But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,

Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.

For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

10 Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,

There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,

11 For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,

for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

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

13 You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.

Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.

14 Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.

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

15 He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

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