Context of Psalms 91:10
8You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High]. 9Because you have made the Lord, [who is] my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. 11For He will command His angels in regard to you, To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. 12They will lift you up in their hands, So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.
