Psalms 91:1

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

1 He ^awho dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide ^bunder the shadow of the Almighty.

2 ^aI will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 Surely ^aHe shall deliver you from the snare of the¹ fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.

4 ^aHe shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and¹ buckler.

5 ^aYou shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.

8 Only ^awith your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is ^amy refuge,
Even the Most High, ^byour dwelling place,

10 ^aNo evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 ^aFor He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.

12 In their hands they shall¹ bear you up,
^aLest you¹ dash your foot against a stone.
