Context of Psalms 91:5
3God will keep you safe, so that no trap will catch you. He will not let any illness kill you. 4He will keep you safe, like a bird keeps its babies safe under its wings. Because he keeps his promises, he will keep you safe like a shield and armour. Do not be afraid of troubles that come in the night, or of your enemy's arrows during the day. 6Do not be afraid of any illness that comes when it is dark, or any trouble that comes in the middle of the day. 7A thousand people may die near you. Even ten thousand people may die at your side. But nothing will hurt you.
