Psalms 91

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

He who sitteth under the shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode in the shadow of the Almighty.

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

I say to the LORD, Thou art 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 guard 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 up in 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 the adder; The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

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

“Because he loveth me, I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knoweth my name.

15 He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour 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 With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

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