Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
: who abides under the shadow of the Almighty,
He will say to the Lord ‘You are my refuge and my stronghold
: my God in whom I trust.’
For he will deliver you from the snare of the hunter
: and from the destroying curse.
He will cover you with his wings,
and you will be safe under his feathers
: his faithfulness will be your shield and defence.
You shall not be afraid of any terror by night
: or of the arrow that flies by day,
Of the pestilence that walks about in darkness
: or the plague that destroys at noonday.
A thousand may fall beside you,
and ten thousand at your right hand
: but you it shall not touch;
Your own eyes shall see
: and look on the reward of the ungodly.
The Lord himself is your refuge
: you have made the Most High your stronghold.
Therefore no harm will befall you
: nor will any scourge come near your tent.
For he will command his angels
: to keep you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands
: lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder
: the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
‘He has set his love upon me,
and therefore I will deliver him
: I will lift him out of danger,
because he has known my name.
‘When he calls upon me I will answer him
: I will be with him in trouble,
I will rescue him and bring him to honour.
‘With long life I will satisfy him
: and fill him with my salvation.’
