Psalms 91

1 He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.⋮

2 I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”⋮

3 For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.⋮

4 He will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.⋮

5 You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,⋮

6 or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.⋮

7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.⋮

8 You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.⋮

9 For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.⋮

10 No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.⋮

11 For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard you in all your ways.⋮

12 They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.⋮

13 You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.⋮

14 Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.⋮

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

16 I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.⋮
