Psalms 91

Security of One Who Trusts in the Lord.

1One who dwells in the 1shelter of the Most High Will lodge 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 rescues you from the 6net of the trapper And from the deadly 7plague.4He will 8cover you with His pinions, And 9under His wings you may take refuge; His 10faithfulness is a 11shield and wall.

5You 12will not be afraid of the 13terror by night, Or of the 14arrow that flies by day;6Of the 15plague that 16stalks in darkness, Or of the 17destruction that devastates 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 retaliation against the wicked.9 20For you have made the Lord, 21my refuge, The Most High, 22your dwelling place.10 23No evil will happen to you, Nor will any plague come near your 24tent.

11For He will give 25His angels orders concerning you, To protect you in all your ways.12On their hands they will 26lift you up, So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.13You will 27walk upon the lion and cobra, You will trample the young lion and the 28serpent.

14“29Because he has loved Me, I will save 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.16I will satisfy him with 35a 36long life, And 37 38show him My salvation.”
