Psalms 91

1 He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

3 For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.

For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.

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

5 You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,

Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

6 or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.

for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.

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

8 You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.

Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

9 For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.

For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

10 No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.

There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,

11 For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard you in all your ways.

for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.

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

13 You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.

Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.

14 Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.

Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.

15 When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.

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