1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.1 91:1 Hebrew Shaddai |
2 I will say2 91:2 Or He says of the LORD , "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust." |
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence. |
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. |
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day, |
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday. |
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you. |
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked. |
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-
even the LORD , who is my refuge- |
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent. |
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways; |
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. |
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent. |
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD , "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. |
15 He will 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." |
