Psalms Chapter 91

¹ Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

      will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

² They’ll say about Yahveh,

      “Our refuge and fortress, the God we trust!”                 

Ps 91:1-2

³ He delivers you from the trapper’s snare

            and deadly pestilence.

         ⁴He covers you with his pinions;

            you can find refuge under his wings;

            his faithfulness shields and protects you.

⁵ You won’t be afraid of terrors at night,

      of arrows that fly by day,

      ⁶ of pestilence that lurks in the dark,

      or destruction that lays waste at noon.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,                                        

      ten thousand by your right hand;

      but disaster won’t touch you.

⁸ You’ll stand by and watch his recompense to the wicked,

         ⁹because you’ve made Yahveh your refuge,

            the Most High your hiding place.

¹⁰ Misfortune won’t fall on you;

      no plague will get near you.                                            

Ps 91:3-10

¹¹ He’ll make his angels responsible

      for guarding you whatever you do.

¹² They’ll carry you

      so you won’t trip over a rock.

¹³ You’ll step on lions and cobras

      and crush them.

¹⁴ “I’ll rescue them that love me

      and set up high those who know me.

¹⁵ They’ll call on me, and I’ll answer them;

      I’ll be with them in trouble,

      rescue and honor them.

¹⁶ I’ll satisfy them with long life

      and give them salvation.”                                                

Ps 91:11-16
