Chapter 91
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty .
2 I will say of Yahweh , " He is my refuge and my fortress ; my God , in whom I trust ."
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler , and from the deadly pestilence .
4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge . His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5 You 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 wastes at noonday .
7 A thousand may fall at your side , and ten thousand at your right hand ; but it will not come near you .
8 You will only look with your eyes , and see the recompense of the wicked .
9 Because you have made Yahweh your refuge , and the Most High your dwelling place ,
10 no evil shall happen to you , neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 For he will put his angels in charge of you , to guard you in all your ways .
12 They will bear you up in their hands , so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and cobra . You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot .
14 " Because he has set his love on me , therefore I will deliver him . I will set him on high , because he has known my name .
15 He will call on me , and I will answer him . I will be with him in trouble . I will deliver him , and honor him .
16 I will satisfy him with long life , and show him my salvation ."
