Psalm 91

The Protection of the Most High

1The one who lives under the protection of the Most High

dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.#Ps 27:5; 32:7; 121:5

2I will say#91:1–2 LXX, Syr, Jer read 2 Almighty, saying, or 2 Almighty, he will say concerning the Lord, who is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust:#Ps 18:2; 61:4; 62:7–8

3He himself will rescue you from the bird trap,#Ps 124:7; 141:9; Ec 9:12

from the destructive plague.

4He will cover you with his feathers;

you will take refuge under his wings.#Ps 57:1; 63:7

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.#Ps 5:12

5You will not fear the terror of the night,

the arrow that flies by day,#Ps 58:7; 76:3

6the plague that stalks in darkness,

or the pestilence that ravages at noon.#Jb 5:19–23

7Though a thousand fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

the pestilence will not reach you.#2Ch 20:9

8You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.#Ps 37:34; 58:10

9Because you have made the Lord — my refuge,#Ps 18:2; 62:7–8

the Most High — your dwelling place,#Ps 121:5

10no harm will come to you;

no plague will come near your tent.#Pr 12:21

11For he will give his angels orders concerning you,

to protect you in all your ways.#Ps 34:7

12They will support you with their hands

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.#Mt 4:6; Lk 4:10–11

13You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the young lion and the serpent.#Lk 10:19

14Because he has his heart set on me,

I will deliver him;

I will protect him because he knows my name.#Ps 9:10; 37:40; 107:41

15When he calls out to me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble.

I will rescue him and give him honor.#2Sm 22:20; Ps 18:19; 50:15

16I will satisfy him with a long life#Dt 4:40; Ps 21:4

and show him my salvation.#Ps 50:23
