Psalms 91

Security of One Who Trusts in the Lord.

1 One who dwells in the ^ashelter of the Most High
Will lodge in the ^bshadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My ^crefuge and my ^dfortress,
My God, in whom I ^etrust!”
3 For it is He who rescues you from the ^fnet of the trapper
And from the deadly ^gplague.
4 He will ^hcover you with His pinions,
And ⁱunder His wings you may take refuge;
His ^jfaithfulness is a ^kshield and wall.

5 You ^lwill not be afraid of the ^mterror by night,
Or of the ⁿarrow that flies by day;
6 Of the ^oplague that ▼

▼Or walks

stalks in darkness,
Or of the ^qdestruction that devastates at noon.
7 A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But ^rit shall not approach you.
8 You will only look on with your eyes
And ^ssee the retaliation against the wicked.
9 ▼

▼Or For You, O Lord, are my Refuge; You have made the Most High your dwelling place

For you have made the Lord, ^umy refuge,
The Most High, ^vyour dwelling place.
10 ^wNo evil will happen to you,
Nor will any plague come near your ▼

▼Or dwelling

tent.

11 For He will give ^yHis angels orders concerning you,
To protect you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will ^zlift you up,
So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will ^aawalk upon the lion and cobra,
You will trample the young lion and the ▼

▼Or dragon

serpent.

14 “ ^acBecause he has loved Me, I will save him;
I will ^adset him securely on high, because he has ^aeknown My name.
15 “He will ^afcall upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in ▼

▼Or distress

trouble;
I will rescue him and ^ahhonor him.
16 “I will satisfy him with ▼

▼Lit length of days

a ^ajlong life,
And ▼

▼Or cause him to feast his eyes on

, ^alshow him My salvation.”
