Psalms 91:1-16<br /> Psalm 91<br /> <br /> 1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High<br /> will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]<br /> 2 I will say of the Lord, &ldquo;He is my refuge and my fortress,<br /> my God, in whom I trust.&rdquo;<br /> 3 Surely he will save you<br /> from the fowler&rsquo;s snare<br /> and from the deadly pestilence.<br /> 4 He will cover you with his feathers,<br /> and under his wings you will find refuge;<br /> his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.<br /> 5 You will not fear the terror of night,<br /> nor the arrow that flies by day,<br /> 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,<br /> nor the plague that destroys at midday.<br /> 7 A thousand may fall at your side,<br /> ten thousand at your right hand,<br /> but it will not come near you.<br /> 8 You will only observe with your eyes<br /> and see the punishment of the wicked.<br /> 9 If you say, &ldquo;The Lord is my refuge,&rdquo;<br /> and you make the Most High your dwelling,<br /> 10 no harm will overtake you,<br /> no disaster will come near your tent.<br /> 11 For he will command his angels concerning you<br /> to guard you in all your ways;<br /> 12 they will lift you up in their hands,<br /> so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.<br /> 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;<br /> you will trample the great lion and the serpent.<br /> 14 &ldquo;Because he[b] loves me,&rdquo; says the Lord, &ldquo;I will rescue him;<br /> I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.<br /> 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;<br /> I will be with him in trouble,<br /> I will deliver him and honor him.<br /> 16 With long life I will satisfy him<br /> and show him my salvation.&rdquo;
