Psalm 91:1-16

¹
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
²
This I declare of the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I am trusting him.
³
For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from the fatal plague.
⁴
He will shield you with his wings.
He will shelter you with his feathers.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
⁵
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor fear the dangers of the day,
⁶
nor dread the plague that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
⁷
Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
⁸
But you will see it with your eyes;
you will see how the wicked are punished.
⁹
If you make the LORD your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
¹⁰
no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your dwelling.
¹¹
For he orders his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
¹²
They will hold you with their hands
to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.
¹³
You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
¹⁴
The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
¹⁵
When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue them and honor them.
¹⁶
I will satisfy them with a long life
and give them my salvation."
