Psalm 91
You Are My Refuge and My Fortress
¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.1
² I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
³ Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.
⁴ He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
⁵ You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
⁷ Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.
⁸ You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
⁹ Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
¹⁰ no evil will befall you, no plague will approach 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.2
¹³ You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
¹⁴ “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
¹⁵ When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
