Psalm 91
1 He
who dwells in
the secret place
of the Most
High
will rest in the
shadow of the
Almighty.
2 I
will say of the
LORD, “He is
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 feathers.
Under his wings
you will take
refuge.
His faithfulness is
your shield
and rampart.
5 You
shall not be
afraid of the
terror by night,
nor of the
arrow that flies
by day,
6 nor of the
pestilence that
walks in darkness,
nor of the destruction
that wastes at
noonday.
7 A
thousand may fall
at your side,
and 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,
and the Most
High your dwelling
place,
10 no
evil shall happen
to you,
neither shall any
plague come near
your dwelling.
11 For
he will put
his angels in
charge of you,
to guard you
in all your
ways.
12 They
will bear you
up in their
hands,
so that you won’t
dash your foot
against a stone.
13 You will
tread on the
lion and cobra.
You will trample
the young lion
and the serpent
underfoot.
14 “Because
he has set
his love on
me, therefore I
will deliver him.
I will set
him on high,
because he has
known my name.
15 He
will call on
me, and I
will answer him.
I will be with
him in trouble.
I will deliver
him, and honor
him.
16 I
will satisfy him
with long life,
and show him
my salvation.”
