Psalm 91



1 You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High,*
who abide in the shade of the Almighty,*

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

3 He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare,
from the destroying plague,

4 He will shelter you with his pinions,
and under his wings you may take refuge;
his 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 Because you have the LORD for your refuge
and have made the Most High your stronghold,

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

11 *For he commands his angels with regard to you,
to guard you wherever you go.

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

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

14 Because he clings to me I will deliver him;
because he knows my name I will set him on high.

15 He will call upon me and I will answer;
I will be with him in distress;
I will deliver him and give him honor.

16 With length of days I will satisfy him,
and fill him with my saving power.
