Psalms 91:1-13 ▼

1 The one sitting in the secret place of the Most High, in the shade of Shaddai he will abide.

2 I will say of YHWH: “My refuge and my stronghold, My God, I trust in Him!”

3 Surely He will snatch you from the snare of the trapper, from the plague of calamity.

4 With His pinions He will give cover for you, and under His wings you will take refuge; a shield and buckler is His faithfulness.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,

6 from the plague that walks in the darkness, or from the pestilence that destroys at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, and a multitude at your right hand—it shall not draw near to you.

8 But with your eyes you shall look, and you shall see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because You, O YHWH are my refuge; the Most High you have made your dwelling place.

10 Evil shall not meet with you, and plague shall not come near, by your tent.

11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

12 Upon the hands they shall lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 Upon the lion and cobra you will tread; you will trample the young lion and the serpent.
