Context of Psalms 91:5
3For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; Butit shall not come nigh thee.
