Psalms 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

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 Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.

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

3 For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.

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

4 With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.

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

5 Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;

You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

6 Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.

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

7 There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

8 Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.

Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.

9 Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,

For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.

10 There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;

No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.

11 For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;

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

12 On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;

They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

13 On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.

You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.

14 Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, 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 me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

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

16 With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.

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