Psalm 91

[k-pappy]

Psalm 91 (New International Version)

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
      will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  

2 I will say 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."
