Psalm 91

New American Standard Bible

Security of One Who Trusts in the Lord.

91 One who dwells in the ^(A)shelter of the Most High
Will lodge in the ^(B)shadow of the Almighty.
²I will say to the Lord, “My ^(C)refuge and my ^(D)fortress,
My God, in whom I ^(E)trust!”
³For it is He who rescues you from the ^(F)net of the trapper
And from the deadly ^(G)plague.
⁴He will ^(H)cover you with His pinions,
And ^(I)under His wings you may take refuge;
His ^(J)faithfulness is a ^(K)shield and wall.

⁵You ^(L)will not be afraid of the ^(M)terror by night,
Or of the ^(N)arrow that flies by day;
⁶Of the ^(O)plague that ^[a]stalks in darkness,
Or of the ^(P)destruction that devastates at noon.
⁷A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But ^(Q)it shall not approach you.
⁸You will only look on with your eyes
And ^(R)see the retaliation against the wicked.
⁹^[b]For you have made the Lord, ^(S)my refuge,
The Most High, ^(T)your dwelling place.
¹⁰^(U)No evil will happen to you,
Nor will any plague come near your ^[c]tent.

¹¹For He will give ^(V)His angels orders concerning you,
To protect you in all your ways.
¹²On their hands they will ^(W)lift you up,
So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³You will ^(X)walk upon the lion and cobra,
You will trample the young lion and the ^[d]serpent.

¹⁴“^(Y)Because he has loved Me, I will save him;
I will ^(Z)set him securely on high, because he has ^(AA)known My name.
¹⁵He will ^(AB)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in ^[e]trouble;
I will rescue him and ^(AC)honor him.
¹⁶I will satisfy him with ^[f]a ^(AD)long life,
And ^[g]^(AE)show him My salvation.”
