Psalm 91

¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.

² I say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust."

³ For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,
from the deadly pestilence.

⁴ With his pinions he will cover you,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and a rampart.

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

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the plague that ravages at noon.

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 look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the LORD your refuge,
the Most High your dwelling place,

¹⁰ no evil shall befall you,
nor any plague come near your tent.

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

¹² On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.

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

¹⁴ "Because he clings to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he knows my name.

¹⁵ When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.

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