Psalm 91

Psalm 91

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

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in whom I trust.

³For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the deadly pestilence.

⁴He will cover thee with his pinions,

And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:

His truth is a shield and a buckler.

⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,

And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!

Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

¹¹For he will give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

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

¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble:

I will deliver him, and honor him.

¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him,

And show him my salvation.
