91:1 Whoever goes to the LORD for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, |
91:2 can say to him, "You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust." |
91:3 He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. |
91:4 He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you. |
91:5 You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day |
91:6 or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight. |
91:7 A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you, but you will not be harmed. |
91:8 You will look and see how the wicked are punished. |
91:9 You have made the LORD your defender, the Most High your protector, |
91:10 and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home. |
91:11 God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. |
91:12 They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones. |
91:13 You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes. |
91:14 God says, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD. |
91:15 When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them. |
91:16 I will reward them with long life; I will save them." |
