Psalms 91

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

O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

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

I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

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

That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

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

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

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

Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

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

Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

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

A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

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

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

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

For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

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

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

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

For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

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

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

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

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

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 set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known 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 upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

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

With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
