Psalm 91:1-16

91  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Under the shadow of the Almighty will tarry,  Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God in whom I will trust.  For he will rescue thee From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.  With his pinion will he cover thee And under his wings shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler is his faithfulness.  Thou shalt not be afraid Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;  Of the pestilence that in darkness doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.  There shall fall at thy side a thousand, Yea myriads at thy right hand, Unto thee shall it not come nigh;  Save only with thine own eyes shalt thou discern And the recompense of the lawless shalt thou see.  Because thou [hast made] Yahweh my refuge,—The Most High thou hast made thy dwelling-place 10  There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall plague come near into thy tent; 11  For his messengers will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee in all thy ways; 12  On hands will they bear thee up Lest thou strike against a stone thy foot; 13  On the lion and adder shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile. 14  Because on me he hath set firm his love Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high Because he hath known my Name; 15  He shall call me and I will answer him, With him will I be in distress, I will rescue him and will honour him; 16  With length of days will I satisfy him, And will shew him my salvation.
