Psalm 91

 ¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High 
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ^[a]

 ² I will say ^[b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, 
       my God, in whom I trust."

 ³ Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare 
       and from the deadly pestilence.

 ⁴ He will cover you with his feathers, 
       and under his wings you will find refuge; 
       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

 ⁵ You will not fear the terror of night, 
       nor the arrow that flies by day,

 ⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, 
       nor the plague that destroys at midday.

 ⁷ A thousand may fall at your side, 
       ten thousand at your right hand, 
       but it will not come near you.

 ⁸ You will only observe with your eyes 
       and see the punishment of the wicked.

 ⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling— 
       even the LORD, who is my refuge-

 ¹⁰ then no harm will befall you, 
       no disaster will come near your tent.

 ¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you 
       to guard you in all your ways;

 ¹² they will lift you up in their hands, 
       so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

 ¹³ You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; 
       you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

 ¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; 
       I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

 ¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him; 
       I will be with him in trouble, 
       I will deliver him and honor him.

 ¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him 
       and show him my salvation."
