Psalms 91

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

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

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

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

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

He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.

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

You 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,

Nor 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 your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

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

You shall tread on the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.

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 on me, therefore will I 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 on 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!

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