Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,*
abides under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 He shall say to the LORD,
“You are my refuge and my stronghold,*
my God in whom I put my trust.”

3 He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter*
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with his pinions,
and you shall find refuge under his wings;*
his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of any terror by night,*
nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 Of the plague that stalks in the darkness,*
nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.

7 A thousand shall fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,*
but it shall not come near you.

8 Your eyes have only to behold*
to see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the LORD your refuge,*
and the Most High your habitation,

10 There shall no evil happen to you,*
neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over you,*
to keep you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you in their hands,*
lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and the adder;*
you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.

14 Because he is bound to me in love,
therefore will I deliver him;*
I will protect him, because he knows my Name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;*
I am with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and bring him to honor.

16 With long life will I satisfy him,*
and show him my salvation.
