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 sitteth under the shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode in the shadow of the Almighty.

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

I say to the LORD, Thou art 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.

Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the wasting 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 feathers, And under his wings shalt thou find refuge; His faithfulness shall be thy shield and buckler.

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

Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night, Nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

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

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the plague that destroyeth 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 by thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But thee it shall not touch.

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

Thou shalt only behold with thine eyes, And see the recompense of the wicked.

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

Because thou hast made the LORD thy refuge, And the Most High thy habitation,

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

No evil shall befall thee, Nor any plague come near thy dwelling.

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

For he will give his angels charge over thee, To guard 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 shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; The young lion and the dragon shalt thou 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 loveth me, I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knoweth my name.

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

When he calleth upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honor.

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.”
