Psalm 91:1–16

Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord.

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

Will abide in the ^bshadow of the Almighty.

²I will say to the Lord, “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 deadly ^bpestilence.

⁴He will ^acover you with His pinions,

And ^bunder His wings you may seek refuge;

His ^cfaithfulness is a ^dshield and bulwark.

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

Or of the ^carrow that flies by day;

⁶Of the ^apestilence that ¹stalks in darkness,

Or of the ^bdestruction that lays waste 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 the Lord, ^amy refuge,

Even the Most High, ^byour dwelling place.

^10aNo evil will befall you,

Nor will any plague come near your ¹tent.

¹¹For He will give ^aHis angels charge concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

¹²They will ^abear you up in their hands,

That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³You will ^atread upon the lion and cobra,

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

¹⁴“^aBecause he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will ^bset him securely on high, because he has ^cknown My name.

¹⁵“He will ^acall upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in ¹trouble;

I will rescue him and ^bhonor him.

¹⁶“With ¹a ^along life I will satisfy him

And ^2blet him see My salvation.”
