Psalm 91:1–13

In the Shadow of the Almighty

¹He who abides in the ^ashelter of the Most High

Will abide in the ^bshadow of the Almighty.

²I will say to Yahweh, “My ^arefuge and my ^bfortress,

My God, in whom I ^ctrust!”

³For it is He who delivers you from the ^asnare of the trapper

And from the destructive ^bpestilence.

⁴He will ^acover you with His pinions,

And ^bunder His wings you will take refuge;

His ^ctruth is a ^dlarge shield and bulwark.

⁵You ^awill not be afraid of ^bterror by night,

Or ^carrow that flies by day;

⁶Of ^apestilence that moves in darkness,

Or of ^bdestruction that devastates at noon.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But ^ait shall not approach you.

⁸You will only look on with your eyes

And ^asee the recompense of the wicked.

⁹¹For you have made Yahweh—^amy refuge,

The Most High—^byour dwelling place.

^10aNo evil will befall you,

And no plague will come near your ¹tent.

¹¹For He will command ^aHis angels concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

¹²On their hands they will ^abear you up,

Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

¹³You will ^atread upon the fierce lion and cobra,

The young lion and the ¹serpent you will trample down.
