Psalm 91

Amplified Bible

Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord.

91 He who ^[a]dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].
²
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”
³
For He will save you from the trap of the fowler,
And from the deadly pestilence.
⁴
He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions,
And under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.

⁵
You will not be afraid of the terror of night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
⁶
Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon.
⁷
A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But danger will not come near you.
⁸
You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes
And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High].
⁹
Because you have made the Lord, [who is] my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,^(A)
¹⁰
No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.

¹¹
For He will command His angels in regard to you,
To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
¹²
They will lift you up in their hands,
So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.^(B)
¹³
You will tread upon the lion and cobra;
The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.^(C)

¹⁴
“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him;
I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].
¹⁵
“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
¹⁶
“With a long life I will satisfy him
And I will let him see My salvation.”
