# Psalm 91 (New King James Version)
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

##### Chapter 91
###### 1 He who dwells 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 I will trust."

###### 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler  
_And_ from the perilous pestilence.  

###### 4 He shall cover you with His feathers,  
And under His wings you shall take refuge;  
His truth _shall be your_ shield and buckler.  

###### 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,  
_Nor_ of the arrow _that_ flies by day,  

###### 6 _Nor_ of the pestilence _that_ walks in darkness,  
_Nor_ of the destruction _that_ lays waste at noonday.

###### 7 A thousand may fall at your side,  
And ten thousand at your right hand;  
_But_ it shall not come near you.  

###### 8 Only with your eyes shall you look,  
And see the reward of the wicked.

###### 9 Because you have made the Lord, _who is_ my refuge,  
_Even_ the Most High, your dwelling place,  

###### 10 No evil shall befall you,  
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;  

###### 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,  
To keep you in all your ways.  

###### 12 In _their_ hands they shall bear you up,  
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.  

###### 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,  
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

###### 14 "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;  
I will set him on high, because he has 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 honor him.  

###### 16 With long life I will satisfy him,  
And show him My salvation."
