Psalm 91

Psalms 91

1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the LORD,

He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.
3
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

and from the noisome pestilence.
4
He shall cover thee with his feathers,

and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6
nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7
A thousand shall fall at thy side,

and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
8
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

and see the reward of the wicked.
9
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,

even the Most High, thy habitation;
10
there shall no evil befall thee,

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, Mt. 4.6 · Lk. 4.10

to keep thee in all thy ways.
12
They shall bear thee up in their hands,

lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4.6 · Lk. 4.11
13
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Lk. 10.19
14
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15
He shall 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.
