Psalms 91

1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie.

2 He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

I will say vnto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust.

3 For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.

4 With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler.

5 Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:

6 Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone day.

7 There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

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

8 But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.

10 Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.

11 For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes.

12 On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.

13 On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete.

14 Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name.

15 He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.

16 With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.
