Psalm 91
91
My Refuge and My Fortress
1He who dwells in #See Ps. 32:7 the shelter of the Most High
will abide in #Ps. 121:5; [Isa. 25:4; 32:2]the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say#91:2 Septuagint He will say to the Lord, “My #ver. 9; See Ps. 14:6 refuge and my #See Ps. 18:2 fortress,
my God, in whom I #See Ps. 11:1trust.”
3For he will deliver you from #Ps. 124:7; 140:5; 141:9; Prov. 6:5the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will #[1 Kgs. 8:7] cover you with his pinions,
and under his #See Ps. 17:8 wings you will #Ps. 57:1 find refuge;
his #See Ps. 36:5 faithfulness is #See Ps. 35:2a shield and buckler.
5 #
Prov. 3:23; Isa. 43:1; See Job 5:19-23 You will not fear #Song 3:8the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8You will only look with your eyes
and #See Ps. 37:34see the recompense of the wicked.
9Because you have made the Lord your #See Ps. 71:3 dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my #[See ver. 2 above]refuge#91:9 Or For you, O Lord, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your dwelling place—
10 # [ver. 5]; See Prov. 12:21 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
#
Ps. 38:11
no plague come near your tent.
11 # Cited Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:10, 11 For he will command his #See Ps. 34:7 angels concerning you
to #Ex. 23:20guard you in all your ways.
12On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you #Prov. 3:23; [Ps. 37:24]strike your foot against a stone.
13You will tread on #[Dan. 6:23] the lion and the #[Acts 28:5] adder;
the young lion and #See Ps. 74:13 the serpent you will #Luke 10:19; [Mark 16:18]trample underfoot.
14“Because he #Deut. 7:7; 10:15 holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he #Ps. 9:10knows my name.
15When he #Job 12:4; See Ps. 50:15 calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and #1 Sam. 2:30; John 12:26honor him.
16With #Ps. 21:4; Deut. 6:2; 1 Kgs. 3:14; Prov. 3:2, 16 long life I will satisfy him
and #Ps. 50:23; [Ps. 118:14, 21]show him my salvation.”

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.”
