Psalm 91

Psalm 91

¹Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High 

will remain in the shadow of the Almighty. 

²I will say to the Lord, 

“⸤You are⸥ my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.” 

³He is the one who will rescue you from hunters’ traps 

and from deadly plagues. 

⁴He will cover you with his feathers, 

and under his wings you will find refuge. 

His truth is your shield and armor. 

⁵You do not need to fear 

terrors of the night, 

arrows that fly during the day, 

⁶plagues that roam the dark, 

epidemics that strike at noon. 

⁷They will not come near you, 

even though a thousand may fall dead beside you 

or ten thousand at your right side. 

⁸You only have to look with your eyes 

to see the punishment of wicked people. 

⁹You, O Lord, are my refuge! 

You have made the Most High your home. 

¹⁰No harm will come to you. 

No sickness will come near your house. 

¹¹He will put his angels in charge of you 

to protect you in all your ways. 

¹²They will carry you in their hands 

so that you never hit your foot against a rock. 

¹³You will step on lions and cobras. 

You will trample young lions and snakes. 

¹⁴Because you love me, I will rescue you. 

I will protect you because you know my name. 

¹⁵When you call to me, I will answer you. 

I will be with you when you are in trouble. 

I will save you and honor you. 

¹⁶I will satisfy you with a long life. 

I will show you how I will save you.
