Psalms 91

1Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

3For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

4He will cover you with his feathers.

He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

5Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

6Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

7Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

8Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.

9If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

10no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

11For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

12They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

13You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

14The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

15When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.

16I will reward them with a long life

and give them my salvation.”

Psalms 91

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

1He #Ps. 27:5; 31:20; 32:7who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide #Ps. 17:8; Is. 25:4; 32:2under the shadow of the Almighty.

2#Ps. 142:5I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

3Surely #Ps. 124:7; Prov. 6:5He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

4#Ps. 17:8He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5#(Job 5:19; Ps. 112:7; Is. 43:2)You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

8Only #Ps. 37:34; Mal. 1:5with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9Because you have made the Lord, who is #Ps. 91:2my refuge,

Even the Most High, #Ps. 90:1your dwelling place,

10#(Prov. 12:21)No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11#Ps. 34:7; Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:10; (Heb. 1:14)For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

12In their hands they shall bear you up,

#Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:11Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has #(Ps. 9:10)known My name.

15He shall #Job 12:4; Ps. 50:15call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be #Is. 43:2with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

16With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”
