PSALM 91 [†] He who dwells in  a the shelter of the Most High

will abide in  b the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say [1] to the LORD, “My  c refuge and my  d fortress,

my God, in whom I  e trust.”

3[†] For he will deliver you from  f the snare of the fowler

and from the deadly pestilence.

4[†] He will  g cover you with his pinions,

and under his  h wings you will  i find refuge;

his  j faithfulness is  k a shield and buckler.

5  l You will not fear  m the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

8 You will only look with your eyes

and  n see the recompense of the wicked.

9[†] Because you have made the LORD your  o dwelling place—

the Most High, who is my  c refuge [2]—

10  p no evil shall be allowed to befall you,

 q no plague come near your tent.

11[†]  r For he will command his  s angels concerning you

to  t guard you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will bear you up,

lest you  u strike your foot against a stone.

13[†] You will tread on  v the lion and the  w adder;

the young lion and  x the serpent you will  y trample underfoot.

14[†] “Because he  z holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;

I will protect him, because he  a knows my name.

15 When he  b calls to me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will rescue him and  c honor him.

16 With  d long life I will satisfy him

and  e show him my salvation.”
