Psalms 91

1The one who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say to Yahweh, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3For he will deliver you from the fowler’s trap, from the deadly plague.

4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will take refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and a rampart.

5You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day.

6nor the plague that walks in darkness, nor the destruction 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.

8You will only look with your eyes and see the wicked repaid.

9For you have made Yahweh—my refuge, the Most High—your dwelling place.

10No harm will befall you, and no plague will come near your tent.

11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

12They will carry you on their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13You will tread on the lion and the venomous snake; you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

14Because he clings to me, I will rescue him; I will set him on high, because he knows my name.

15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

16I will satisfy him with long life, and I will show him my salvation.
