# Chapter 91
|
||
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
|
||
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
|
||
2 This I declare about the Lord:
|
||
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
|
||
he is my God, and I trust him.
|
||
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
|
||
and protect you from deadly disease.
|
||
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
|
||
He will shelter you with his wings.
|
||
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
|
||
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
|
||
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
|
||
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
|
||
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
|
||
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
|
||
though ten thousand are dying around you,
|
||
these evils will not touch you.
|
||
8 Just open your eyes,
|
||
and see how the wicked are punished.
|
||
9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
|
||
if you make the Most High your shelter,
|
||
10 no evil will conquer you;
|
||
no plague will come near your home.
|
||
11 For he will order his angels
|
||
to protect you wherever you go.
|
||
12 They will hold you up with their hands
|
||
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
|
||
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
|
||
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
|
||
14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
|
||
I will protect those who trust in my name.
|
||
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
|
||
I will be with them in trouble.
|
||
I will rescue and honor them.
|
||
16 I will reward them with a long life
|
||
and give them my salvation.” |
