Psalms 91

 

1 He who dwells in the shelter 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 Surely HE will save me from the fowler's snare

    and from the deadly pestilence.

 

    4 HE will cover me with HIS feathers,

    and under HIS wings I will find refuge;

    HIS faithfulness will be my shield and rampart.

 

    5 I 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 my side,

    ten thousand at my right hand,

    but it will not come near me.

 

    8 I will only observe with my eyes

    and see the punishment of the wicked.

   

    9 If I make the MOST HIGH my dwelling-

    even the LORD , who is my refuge-

 

    10 then no harm will befall me,

    no disaster will come near my tent.

 

    11 For HE will command HIS angels concerning me

    to guard me in all my ways;

 

    12 they will lift me up in their hands,

    so that I will not strike my foot against a stone.

 

    13 I will tread upon the lion and the cobra;

    I 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."
