Psalm 91

Ps. 91:1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
Ps. 91:2 will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust."
Ps. 91:3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
Ps. 91:4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
Ps. 91:5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
Ps. 91:6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
Ps. 91:7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
Ps. 91:8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
Ps. 91:9 Because you have made the LORD your refuge,
the Most High your dwelling place,
Ps. 91:10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
Ps. 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
Ps. 91:12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
Ps. 91:13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
Ps. 91:14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
Ps. 91:15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honor them.
Ps. 91:16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
