91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, |
91:2 will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." |
91:3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; |
91:4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. |
91:5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, |
91:6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. |
91:7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. |
91:8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. |
91:9 Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, |
91:10 no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. |
91:11 For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. |
91:12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. |
91:13 You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. |
91:14 Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. |
91:15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. |
91:16 With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation. |
