PSALM 91
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
​​Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 ​​I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
​​My God, in Him I will trust.”
​
3 ​​Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[fn]
​​And from the perilous pestilence.
4 ​​He shall cover you with His feathers,
​​And under His wings you shall take refuge;
​​His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
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 lays waste at noonday.
​
7 ​​A thousand may fall at your side,
​​And ten thousand at your right hand;
​​But it shall not come near you.
8 ​​Only with your eyes shall you look,
​​And see the reward of the wicked.
​
9 ​​Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
​​Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 ​​No evil shall befall you,
​​Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 ​​For He shall give His angels charge over you,
​​To keep you in all your ways.
12 ​​In their hands they shall bear you up,
​​Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 ​​You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
​​The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
​
14 ​​“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
​​I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 ​​He shall call upon Me, and 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.”
