Psalm 91

¹He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, *abides under the shadow of the Almighty.

²He shall say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my stronghold, *my God in whom I put my trust.”

³He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter *and from the deadly pestilence.

⁴He shall cover you with his pinions, and you shall find refuge under his wings; *his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.

⁵You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *nor of the arrow that flies by day;

⁶Of the plague that stalks in the darkness, *nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.

⁷A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, *but it shall not come near you.

⁸Your eyes have only to behold *to see the reward of the wicked.

⁹Because you have made the Lord your refuge, *and the Most High your habitation,

¹⁰There shall no evil happen to you, *neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

¹¹For he shall give his angels charge over you, *to keep you in all your ways.

¹²They shall bear you in their hands, *lest you dash your foot against a stone.

¹³You shall tread upon the lion and the adder; *you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.

¹⁴Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I deliver him; *I will protect him, because he knows my Name.

¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; *I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him to honor.

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