Chapter 91

1

^{1 2} You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,

2

Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust."

3

God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague,

4

Will shelter you with pinions, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield.

5

You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day,

6

Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.

7

Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come.

8

You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see.

9

You have the LORD for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold.

10

No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.

11

³ For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.

12

With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13

You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.

14

Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high.

15

All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor.

16

With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power.
