Psalm 91

Assurance of God’s Protection

¹You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
   who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,^*
2will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
   my God, in whom I trust.’
³For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
   and from the deadly pestilence;
⁴he will cover you with his pinions,
   and under his wings you will find refuge;
   his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
⁵You will not fear the terror of the night,
   or the arrow that flies by day,
⁶or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
   or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

¹⁴Those who love me, I will deliver;
   I will protect those who know my name.
¹⁵When they call to me, I will answer them;
   I will be with them in trouble,
   I will rescue them and honour them.
¹⁶With long life I will satisfy them,
   and show them my salvation.
