Psalms 91

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

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,

2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.

He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.

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

You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,

6 [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noon-day.

Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,

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

One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.

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

But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,

9 Because thou hast made the LORD [who is] my refuge, [even] the Most High, thy habitation;

(For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.

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

Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,

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

For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,

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

On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

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

You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young 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.

Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, 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 honor him.

He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.

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

I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
