Psalms 91:1-7

11As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of the sovereign One, and resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king –

2I say this about the Lord, my shelter and my stronghold, my God in whom I trust –

3he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the destructive plague.

4He will shelter you with his wings; you will find safety under his wings. His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall.

5You need not fear the terrors of the night, the arrow that flies by day,

6the plague that comes in the darkness, or the disease that comes at noon.

7Though a thousand may fall beside you, and a multitude on your right side, it will not reach you.

Notes

  1. 1. Psalms 91:1 Psalm 91. In this psalm an individual (perhaps a priest) addresses one who has sought shelter in the Lord and assures him that God will protect him from danger (vv. 1-13). In vv. 14-16 God himself promises to keep his loyal follower safe. ↩
