Psalm 91

 ¹HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].

    ²I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

    ³For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

    ⁴[Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

    ⁵You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,

    ⁶Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

    ⁷A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

    ⁸Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.

    ⁹Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

    ¹⁰There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.

    ¹¹For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].

    ¹²They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

    ¹³You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.

    ¹⁴Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].

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

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