The Psalms 91


Abiding in the Shadow of the Almighty
1  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
        
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2  I will say of the LORD,
        
He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.
3  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
        
and from the noisome pestilence.
4  He shall cover thee with his feathers,
        
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
        
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6  nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
        
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7  A thousand shall fall at thy side,
        
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
8  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
        
and see the reward of the wicked.
9  Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,
        
even the Most High, thy habitation;
10  there shall no evil befall thee,
        
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, Mt. 4.6 · Lk. 4.10
        
to keep thee in all thy ways.
12  They shall bear thee up in their hands,
        
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4.6 · Lk. 4.11
13  Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
        
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Lk. 10.19
14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
        
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15  He shall 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.
