PSALM 91
1 He who
dwells in the shelter
of the Most High
will rest in the
shadow of the
Almighty.
2 I will
say of the LORD
, "He is my refuge and
my fortress,
my God, in whom I
trust."
3 Surely he
will save you from the
fowler's snare
and from the deadly
pestilence.
4 He will
cover you with his
feathers,
and under his wings
you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will
be your shield and
rampart.
5 You will
not fear the terror of
night,
nor the arrow that
flies by day,
6 nor the
pestilence that stalks
in the darkness,
nor the plague that
destroys at midday.
7 A
thousand may fall at
your side,
ten thousand at your
right hand,
but it will not come
near you.
8 You will
only observe with your
eyes
and see the punishment
of the wicked.
9 If you
make the Most High
your dwelling-
even the LORD , who is
my refuge-
10 then no
harm will befall you,
no disaster will come
near your tent.
11 For he
will command his
angels concerning you
to guard you in all
your ways;
12 they
will lift you up in
their hands,
so that you will not
strike your foot
against a stone.
13 You will
tread upon the lion
and the cobra;
you will trample the
great lion and the
serpent.
14 "Because
he loves me," says the
LORD , "I will rescue
him;
I will protect him,
for he acknowledges my
name.
15 He will
call upon me, and I
will answer him;
I will be with him in
trouble,
I will deliver him and
honor him.
16 With
long life will I
satisfy him
and show him my
salvation."
