| Chapter 91 |
1 | He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. |
2 | I say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress; my God, I will confide in him. |
3 | Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the destructive pestilence. |
4 | He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou find refuge: his truth is a shield and buckler. |
5 | Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day, |
6 | For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. |
7 | A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee. |
8 | Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked. |
9 | Because thou hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place, |
10 | There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. |
11 | For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways: |
12 | They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. |
13 | Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot. |
14 | Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. |
15 | He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him. |
16 | With length of days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. |
