Psalm 91:1-15

New International Version

Psalm 91

¹Whoever dwells in the shelter^(A) of the Most High
will rest in the shadow^(B) of the Almighty.^[a]
²I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge^(C) and my fortress,^(D)
my God, in whom I trust.”

³Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare^(E)
    and from the deadly pestilence.^(F)
⁴He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;^(G)
    his faithfulness will be your shield^(H) and rampart.
⁵You will not fear^(I) the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
⁷A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.^(J)

⁹If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
¹⁰no harm^(K) will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
¹¹For he will command his angels^(L) concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;^(M)
¹²they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.^(N)
¹³You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.^(O)

¹⁴“Because he^[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
¹⁵He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.^(P)
