Psalms 91

1 You whose home is the shelter of God Most High, whose abode is the shadow of God Almighty,

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of Shaddai.

2 can say to the Lord, “My refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

I will say of Jehovah, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."

3 For he saves you from fowler’s snare, from deadly plague,

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

4 he shelters you with his pinions, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be a shield and buckler.

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His truth is an encompassing shield.

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

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

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

nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand: but it will not draw near to you.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

8 You will only look on with your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.

You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 You have made the Lord your refuge, you have made the Most High your defence.

Because you have made Jehovah your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

10 You will never be met by misfortune, no plague will come near your tent,

no evil shall overtake you; no plague shall come near your dwelling.

11 for he orders his angels to guard you, wherever you go.

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

12 They will carry you with their hands, so you don’t hurt your foot on a stone.

In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will trample down lions and snakes, tread on young lions and cobras.

You will tread upon the lion and the viper. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

14 “Because of their love for me, I will deliver them, I will protect those who trust my name.

"Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

15 I will answer their cry and be with them in trouble, bringing them forth into safety and honor.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 I will give them a life of many days, I will show them my salvation.”

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."
