Psalm 91 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Security of the One Who Trusts in the LORD.

Psa 91:1

He who [fn]dwells in the shelter of the Most High

Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].

Psa 91:2

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”

Psa 91:3

For He will save you from the trap of the fowler,

And from the deadly pestilence.

Psa 91:4

He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions,

And under His wings you will find refuge;

His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.

Psa 91:5

You will not be afraid of the terror of night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Psa 91:6

Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon.

Psa 91:7

A thousand may fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But danger will not come near you.

Psa 91:8

You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes

And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High].

Psa 91:9

Because you have made the LORD, [who is] my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

Psa 91:10

No evil will befall you,

Nor will any plague come near your tent.

Psa 91:11

For He will command His angels in regard to you,

To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service].

Psa 91:12

They will lift you up in their hands,

So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.

Psa 91:13

You will tread upon the lion and cobra;

The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

Psa 91:14

“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him;

I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].

Psa 91:15

“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will rescue him and honor him.

Psa 91:16

“With a long life I will satisfy him

And I will let him see My salvation.”
