Psalms 91

PSALM 91

The LORD is My Refuge

A praise of an ode to David.

1 The one dwelling in the help of the highest, [²in ³the protection ⁴of the ⁵God ⁶of the ⁷of heaven ¹shall lodge]. 2 He shall say to the lord, [²shielder ¹You are my], and my refuge; my God, and I will hope upon him. 3 For he shall rescue you from out of the snare of hunters, from [²matter ¹a disturbing]. 4 With his upper back he shall overshadow you, and under his wings you shall hope. [³with the shield ¹He shall encircle ²you] of his truth. 5 You shall not be afraid from fear by night, nor from an arrow flying by day, 6 nor from a thing [²in ³darkness ¹going], nor from an adverse incident, and the demon at midday. 7 [²shall fall ³at ⁴your side ¹A thousand], and myriads at your right hand; [³unto ⁴you ¹but ²it shall not approach]. 8 Only with your eyes you shall contemplate; and [²the recompense ³of sinners ¹you shall see]. 9 For you, O lord, the one of my hope; [²the ³highest ¹you made] your refuge. 10 There shall not come near to you bad things; and the whip shall not approach in your tent. 11 For to his angels he gives charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. 12 By hands they will lift you, lest at any time you should stumble [²against ³a stone ¹your foot]. 13 [²upon ³the asp ⁴and ⁵cobra ¹You shall set foot]; and you shall trample on the lion and dragon. 14 For [²upon ³me ¹he hoped], and I shall rescue him. I will shelter him, for he knew my name. 15 He shall cry out to me, and I shall heed him. [²with ³him ¹I am] in affliction. I will rescue him and glorify him. 16 [³with duration ⁴of days ¹I will fill ²him], and I will show to him my deliverance.
