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."
