Psalm 91-92

Christian Standard Bible

² I will say^[a] concerning the Lord, who is my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust:^(B)
3 He himself will rescue you from the bird trap,^(C)
from the destructive plague.
⁴ He will cover you with his feathers;
you will take refuge under his wings.^(D)
His faithfulness will be a protective shield.^(E)
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
the arrow that flies by day,^(F)
6 the plague that stalks in darkness,
or the pestilence that ravages at noon.^(G)
7 Though a thousand fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
the pestilence will not reach you.^(H)
8 You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.^(I)

⁹ Because you have made the Lord—my refuge,^(J)
the Most High—your dwelling place,^(K)
10 no harm will come to you;
no plague will come near your tent.^(L)
11 For he will give his angels orders concerning you,
to protect you in all your ways.^(M)
12 They will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.^(N)
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the young lion and the serpent.^(O)

¹⁴ Because he has his heart set on me,
I will deliver him;
I will protect him because he knows my name.^(P)
15 When he calls out to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble.
I will rescue him and give him honor.^(Q)
16 I will satisfy him with a long life^(R)
and show him my salvation.^(S)

⁴ For you have made me rejoice, Lord,
by what you have done;
I will shout for joy
because of the works of your hands.^(W)
5 How magnificent are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!^(X)
6 A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this:^(Y)
7 though the wicked sprout like grass^(Z)
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.^(AA)
8 But you, Lord, are exalted forever.^(AB)
9 For indeed, Lord, your enemies—
indeed, your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.^(AC)
10 You have lifted up my horn^(AD)
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed^[c] with the finest oil.^(AE)
11 My eyes look at my enemies;
when evildoers rise against me,
my ears hear them.^(AF)

¹² The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.^(AG)
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
they thrive in the courts of our God.^(AH)
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,^(AI)
15 to declare, “The Lord is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.”^(AJ)
