Psalm 91 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

The Protection of the Most High
Psa 91:1

The one who lives under the protection of the Most High

dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.

Psa 91:2

I will say[fn] concerning the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust:

Psa 91:3

He himself will rescue you from the bird trap,

from the destructive plague.

Psa 91:4

He will cover you with his feathers;

you will take refuge under his wings.

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.

Psa 91:5

You will not fear the terror of the night,

the arrow that flies by day,

Psa 91:6

the plague that stalks in darkness,

or the pestilence that ravages at noon.

Psa 91:7

Though a thousand fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

the pestilence will not reach you.

Psa 91:8

You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.

Psa 91:9

Because you have made the LORD ​— ​my refuge,

the Most High ​— ​your dwelling place,

Psa 91:10

no harm will come to you;

no plague will come near your tent.

Psa 91:11

For he will give his angels orders concerning you,

to protect you in all your ways.

Psa 91:12

They will support you with their hands

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Psa 91:13

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

Psa 91:14

Because he has his heart set on me,

I will deliver him;

I will protect him because he knows my name.

Psa 91:15

When he calls out to me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble.

I will rescue him and give him honor.

Psa 91:16

I will satisfy him with a long life

and show him my salvation.
