Psalms 91

1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the dangerous pestilence.

4 With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

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

6 Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come nigh you.

8 But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;

10 Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.

11 For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

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

12 On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

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

13 On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.

14 Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

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

15 He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

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