Psalm

91 Anyone dwelling in the secret place of the Most High+

Will lodge under the shadow of the Almighty.+

 2 I will say to Jehovah: “You are my refuge and my stronghold,+

My God in whom I trust.”+

 3 For he will rescue you from the trap of the birdcatcher,

From the destructive pestilence.

 4 With his pinions he will cover* you,

And under his wings you will take refuge.+

 5 You will not fear the terrors of the night,+

Nor the arrow that flies by day,+

 6 Nor the pestilence that stalks in the gloom,

Nor the destruction that ravages at midday.

 7 A thousand will fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But to you it will not come near.+

 8 You will only see it with your eyes

As you witness the punishment* of the wicked.

You have made the Most High your dwelling;*+

10 No disaster will befall you,+

And no plague will come near your tent.

11 For he will give his angels+ a command concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.+

12 They will carry you on their hands,+

So that you may not strike your foot against a stone.+

13 On the young lion and the cobra you will tread;

You will trample underfoot the maned lion and the big snake.+

16 I will satisfy him with long life,+

And I will cause him to see my acts of salvation.”*+
