Psalm 91 - The Scriptures 2009

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, Who abides under the shadow of the Almighty,

² He is saying of יהוה, “My refuge and my stronghold, My Elohim, in whom I trust!”

³ For He delivers you from the snare of a trapper, From the destructive pestilence.

⁴ He covers you with His feathers, And under His wings you take refuge; His truth is a shield and armour.

⁵ You are not afraid of the dread by night, Of the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ Of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Of destruction that ravages at midday.

⁷ A thousand fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it does not come near you.

⁸ Only with your eyes you look on, And see the reward of the wrong ones.

⁹ Because you have made יהוה – My refuge, the Most High – your dwelling place,

¹⁰ No evil befalls you, And a plague does not come near your tent;

¹¹ For He commands His messengers concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.

¹² They bear you up in their hands, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

¹³ You tread upon lion and cobra, Young lion and serpent you trample under foot.

¹⁴ “Because he cleaves to Me in love, Therefore I deliver him; I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.

¹⁵ When he calls on Me, I answer him; I am with him in distress; I deliver him and esteem him.”

¹⁶ With long life I satisfy him, And show him My deliverance.
