Psalm 91

    1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

    2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

       my God, in whom I trust."

    3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare

       and from the deadly pestilence.

    4 He will cover you with his feathers,

       and under his wings you will find refuge;

       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

    5 You will not fear the terror of night,

       nor the arrow that flies by day,

    6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

       nor the plague that destroys at midday.

    7 A thousand may fall at your side,

       ten thousand at your right hand,

       but it will not come near you.

    8 You will only observe with your eyes

       and see the punishment of the wicked.

    9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—

       even the LORD, who is my refuge-

    10 then no harm will befall you,

       no disaster will come near your tent.

    11 For he will command his angels concerning you

       to guard you in all your ways;

    12 they will lift you up in their hands,

       so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

    13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;

       you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

    14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;

       I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

    15 He will 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."
