Psalms - Chapter 91

¹ You who live in the secret place of Elyon, spend your nights in the shelter of Shaddai,

² saying to Yahweh, 'My refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust!'

³ He rescues you from the snare of the fowler set on destruction;

⁴ he covers you with his pinions, you find shelter under his wings. His constancy is shield and protection.

⁵ You need not fear the terrors of night, the arrow that flies in the daytime,

⁶ the plague that stalks in the darkness, the scourge that wreaks havoc at high noon.

⁷ Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, you yourself will remain unscathed.

⁸ You have only to keep your eyes open to see how the wicked are repaid,

⁹ you who say, 'Yahweh my refuge!' and make Elyon your fortress.

¹⁰ No disaster can overtake you, no plague come near your tent;

¹¹ he has given his angels orders about you to guard you wherever you go.

¹² They will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.

¹³ You will walk upon wild beast and adder, you will trample young lions and snakes.

¹⁴ 'Since he clings to me I rescue him, I raise him high, since he acknowledges my name.

¹⁵ He calls to me and I answer him: in distress I am at his side, I rescue him and bring him honour.

¹⁶ I shall satisfy him with long life, and grant him to see my salvation.'
