Psalm 91 - The Scriptures 19981 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.” |
