PSALM 91
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1He that doth in the secret place
of the most High reside,
Under the shade of him that is
th' Almighty shall abide.
2I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge still,
He is my fortress, and my God,
and in him trust I will.
3Assuredly he shall thee save,
and give deliverance
From subtile fowler's snare,
and from the noisome pestilence.
4His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust
under his wings shall be:
His faithfulness shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
5Thou shalt not need to be afraid
for terrors of the night;
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
by day, while it is light;
6Nor for the pestilence, that walks
in darkness secretly;
Nor for destruction, that doth waste
at noon-day openly.
7A thousand at thy side shall fall,
on thy right hand shall lie
Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee
it shall not once come nigh.
8Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,
and a beholder be;
And thou therein the just reward
of wicked men shalt see.
9Because the Lord, who constantly
my refuge is alone,
Ev'n the most High, is made by thee
thy habitation;
10No plague shall near thy dwelling come;
no ill shall thee befall:
11For thee to keep in all thy ways
his angels charge he shall.
12They in their hands shall bear thee up,
still waiting thee upon;
Lest thou at any time should'st dash
thy foot against a stone.
13Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
and on the lion strong;
Thy feet on dragons trample shall,
and on the lions young.
14Because on me he set his love,
I'll save and set him free;
Because my great name he hath known,
I will him set on high.
15He'll call on me, I'll answer him;
I will be with him still
In trouble, to deliver him,
and honour him I will.
16With length of days unto his mind
I will him satisfy;
I also my salvation
will cause his eyes to see.

Psalm 91
91
Psalm 91
1Whoever rests in the shadow of the Most High God
will be kept safe by the Mighty One.
2I will say about the Lord,
“He is my place of safety.
He is like a fort to me.
He is my God. I trust in him.”
3He will certainly save you from hidden traps
and from deadly sickness.
4He will cover you with his wings.
Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety.
He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower.
5You won’t have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night.
You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.
6You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness.
You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.
7A thousand may fall dead at your side.
Ten thousand may fall near your right hand.
But no harm will come to you.
8You will see with your own eyes
how God punishes sinful people.
9Suppose you say, “The Lord is the one who keeps me safe.”
Suppose you let the Most High God be like a home to you.
10Then no harm will come to you.
No terrible plague will come near your tent.
11The Lord will command his angels
to take good care of you.
12They will lift you up in their hands.
Then you won’t trip over a stone.
13You will walk on lions and cobras.
You will crush mighty lions and poisonous snakes.
14The Lord says, “I will save the one who loves me.
I will keep him safe, because he trusts in me.
15He will call out to me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in times of trouble.
I will save him and honor him.
16I will give him a long and full life.
I will save him.”
