Psalm 91“Whoever 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 say, “The
Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no
harm will overtake 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 on 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 on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With
long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
