OEBcth - Psalms - 91

91:1  You whose home is the shelter of God Most High, whose abode is the shadow of God Almighty,

91:2  can say to the Lord, “My refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,”

91:3  For he saves you from fowler’s snare, from the yawning pit of destruction.

91:4  He shelters you with his pinions, and under his wings you may hide. His truth will be a shield and buckler.

91:5  You need not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

91:6  nor the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the pestilence raging at noon.

91:7  A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand: but it shall not draw near to you.

91:8  You will only look on with your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.

91:9  As for you, the Lord is your refuge, you have made the Most High your defence.

91:10  You will never be met by misfortune, no plague shall come near your tent:

91:11  for he orders his angels to guard you, wherever you go.

91:12  They will carry you with their hands, lest you strike your foot on a stone.

91:13  You will tread upon lions and adders, and trample young lions and dragons.

91:14  “Because of their love for me, I will deliver them, I will protect those who trust my name.

91:15  I will answer their cry and be with them in trouble, bringing them forth into safety and honour.

91:16  I will give them a life of many days, I will show them my salvation.”
