Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter
of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from
the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his
feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror
of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks
in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
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 observe with
your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High
your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall
you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels
concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in
their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion
and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says
the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and
I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy
him
and show him my salvation."
