Context of Psalms 91:6
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, the 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. 8Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes – you will see the wicked paid back.
