Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
abides under the
shadow of the Almighty.
He shall say to the LORD,
“You
are my refuge and my stronghold,
my God in whom I
put my trust.”
He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter
and from the deadly
pestilence.
He shall cover you with his pinions,
and you shall find
refuge under his wings;
his faithfulness
shall be a shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of any terror by night,
nor of the arrow
that flies by day;
Of the plague that stalks in the darkness,
nor of the sickness
that lays waste at mid-day.
A thousand shall fall at your side
and ten thousand
at your right hand,
but it shall not
come near you.
Your eyes have only to behold
to see the reward
of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD your refuge,
and the Most High
your habitation,
There shall no evil happen to you,
neither shall any
plague come near your dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over you,
to keep you in all
your ways.
They shall bear you in their hands,
lest you dash your
foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the adder;
you shall trample
the young lion and the serpent under your feet.
Because he is bound to me in love,
therefore will I
deliver him;
I will protect him,
because he knows my Name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;
I am with him in
trouble;
I will rescue him
and bring him to honor.
With long life will I satisfy him,
and show him my
salvation.
