Psalms 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

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

He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

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

He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

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

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.

9 For thou, O LORD, art my refuge! thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

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

They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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

Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.

14 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.

For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honour him.

He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

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

I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.
