3He will certainly save you from hidden traps

and from deadly sickness.

4He will cover you with his wings.

Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety.

He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower.

5You won’t have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night.

You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.

6You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness.

You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.

7A thousand may fall dead at your side.

Ten thousand may fall near your right hand.

But no harm will come to you.

8You will see with your own eyes

how God punishes sinful people.

9The Lord is the one who keeps you safe.

So let the Most High God be like a home to you.

Read in Logos
Psalm 91:3: For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler

and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his pinions,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

You will only look with your eyes

and see the recompense of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—

the Most High, who is my refuge—

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

and you make the Most High your dwelling,

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He himself will rescue you from the bird trap,

from the destructive plague.

He will cover you with his feathers;

you will take refuge under his wings.

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.

You will not fear the terror of the night,

the arrow that flies by day,

the plague that stalks in darkness,

or the pestilence that ravages at noon.

Though a thousand fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

the pestilence will not reach you.

You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord—my refuge,

the Most High—your dwelling place,

NLTNew Living Translation

For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers.

He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.

If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,

from the plague of destruction.

With his feathers he will cover you,

and under his wings you can take refuge.

His faithfulness will be a shield and a buckler.

You need not fear the terror of the night,

or the arrow that flies by day,

or the plague that spreads in the darkness,

or the destruction that devastates at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side,

and ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

You will only look with your eyes,

and see the punishment of the wicked.

For you, O Yahweh, are my refuge.

You have made the Most High your dwelling place.

KJV 1900King James Version

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers,

And under his wings shalt thou trust:

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

And see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,

Even the most High, thy habitation;
