The Book of Psalms, Chapter 91
|
1 |
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
|
2 |
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God;
in him will I trust.
|
3 |
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and
from the noisome pestilence.
|
4 |
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
|
5 |
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
|
6 |
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday.
|
7 |
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
|
8 |
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the
wicked.
|
9 |
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the
most High, thy habitation;
|
10 |
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.
|
11 |
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways.
|
12 |
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone.
|
13 |
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
|
14 |
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver
him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
|
15 |
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him
in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
|
16 |
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
