Psalms 91:1-16

^{Psalms 91:1-16 NIV}

¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

² I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
       my God, in whom I trust." 

³ Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
       and from the deadly pestilence. 

⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
       and under his wings you will find refuge;
       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
       nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
       nor the plague that destroys at midday.

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 observe with your eyes
       and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling—
       even the LORD, who is my refuge-

¹⁰ then no harm will befall you,
       no disaster will come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
       to guard you in all your ways;

¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
       so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
       you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
       I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
       I will be with him in trouble,
       I will deliver him and honor him.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him
       and show him my salvation."
