Psalm 91
1 Whoever 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 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 say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and
you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no
harm will overtake 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 on 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 on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
