Psalm 91:5–16

^5lYou will not fear ^mthe terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

⁸You will only look with your eyes

and ⁿsee the recompense of the wicked.

⁹Because you have made the Lord your ^odwelling place—

the Most High, who is my ^crefuge²—

^10pno evil shall be allowed to befall you,

^qno plague come near your tent.

^11rFor he will command his ^sangels concerning you

to ^tguard you in all your ways.

¹²On their hands they will bear you up,

lest you ^ustrike your foot against a stone.

¹³You will tread on ^vthe lion and the ^wadder;

the young lion and ^xthe serpent you will ^ytrample underfoot.

¹⁴“Because he ^zholds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;

I will protect him, because he ^aknows my name.

¹⁵When he ^bcalls to me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will rescue him and ^chonor him.

¹⁶With ^dlong life I will satisfy him

and ^eshow him my salvation.”
