Psalms 91

Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord.

1He who dwells in the 1shelter of the Most High Will abide in the 2shadow of the Almighty.2I will say to the Lord, “My 3refuge and my 4fortress, My God, in whom I 5trust!”3For it is He who delivers you from the 6snare of the trapper And from the deadly 7pestilence.4He will 8cover you with His pinions, And 9under His wings you may seek refuge; His 10faithfulness is a 11shield and bulwark.

5You 12will not be afraid of the 13terror by night, Or of the 14arrow that flies by day;6Of the 15pestilence that 16stalks in darkness, Or of the 17destruction that lays waste at noon.7A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But 18it shall not approach you.8You will only look on with your eyes And 19see the recompense of the wicked.9 20For you have made the Lord, 21my refuge, Even the Most High, 22your dwelling place.10 23No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your 24tent.

11For He will give 25His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.12They will 26bear you up in their hands, That you do not strike your foot against a stone.13You will 27tread upon the lion and cobra, The young lion and the 28serpent you will trample down.

14“29Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will 30set him securely on high, because he has 31known My name.15He will 32call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in 33trouble; I will rescue him and 34honor him.16With 35a 36long life I will satisfy him And 37 38let him see My salvation.”
