Psalms 91

1. ¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2. ²I say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress; my God, I will confide in him.
3. ³Surely *he* shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [supplied: and] from the destructive pestilence.
4. ⁴He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou find refuge: his truth is a shield and buckler.
5. ⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day,
6. ⁶For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7. ⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [supplied: but] it shall not come nigh thee.
8. ⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.
9. ⁹Because *thou* hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place,
10. ¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
11. ¹¹For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways:
12. ¹²They shall bear thee up in [supplied: their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13. ¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.
14. ¹⁴Because 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. ¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.
16. ¹⁶With length of days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
