Context of Psalms 91:5
3For He will rescue you from the hunter’s trap and from the deadly pestilence. 4He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness is body armor and shield. You will not fear the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6nor the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the scourge that lays waste at noon. 7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
