Psalms 91

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

2 I say to the LORD, Thou art my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

3 Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the wasting pestilence;

4 He will cover thee with his feathers, And under his wings shalt thou find refuge; His faithfulness 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;

6 Nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the plague that destroyeth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall by thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But thee it shall not touch.

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

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

Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To guard thee in all thy ways.
