Psalm 91
1 He who [a]dwells
in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow
of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
2 I will say of the Lord,
He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely,and in Him I [confidently]
trust!
3 For [then] He will
deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
4 [Then] He will cover
you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a
shield and a buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid
of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of
the wicked) that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence
that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that
surprise and lay
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 a spectator shall
you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you
witness the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made
the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 There shall no evil
befall you, nor any plague or calamity
come near your tent.
11 For He will give His
angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve
you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
12 They shall bear you up
on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon
the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.
14 Because he has set his
love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he
knows and understands
My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and
relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].
15 He shall call upon Me,
and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and
honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
