Psalms 91

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

He who sitteth under the shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode in 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 say to the LORD, Thou art 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.

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

5 You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the 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 or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.”
