Context of Psalms 91:6
4He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; For 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. 8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
