Psalms 91

¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,

² will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."

³ For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;

⁴ he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

⁵ You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

⁸ You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation,

¹⁰ no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.

¹² On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

¹⁴ Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.

¹⁵ When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.

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