PSALMS 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the
Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD,
"He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will
save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will
cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his
faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror
of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks
in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may
fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come
near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of
the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who
is my refuge-- then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near
your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in
all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not
strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the
cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because he loves me, "says the LORD," I will rescue him; I will protect
him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer
him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With
long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
