|
# Chapter 91
|
|
1. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
|
|
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
|
|
|
|
2. I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
|
|
my God, in whom I trust."
|
|
|
|
3. For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
|
|
and from the deadly pestilence.
|
|
|
|
4. He will cover you with his pinions,
|
|
and under his wings you will find refuge;
|
|
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
|
|
|
|
5. You will not fear the terror of the night,
|
|
nor the arrow that flies by day,
|
|
|
|
6. nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
|
|
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
|
|
|
|
7. A thousand may fall at your side,
|
|
ten thousand at your right hand,
|
|
but it will not come near you.
|
|
|
|
8. You will only look with your eyes
|
|
and see the recompense of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
9. Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place--
|
|
the Most High, who is my refuge--
|
|
|
|
10. no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
|
|
no plague come near your tent.
|
|
|
|
11. For he will command his angels concerning you
|
|
to guard you in all your ways.
|
|
|
|
12. On their hands they will bear you up,
|
|
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
|
|
|
|
13. You will tread on the lion and the adder;
|
|
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
|
|
|
|
14. "Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
|
|
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
|
|
|
|
15. When he calls to me, I will answer him;
|
|
I will be with him in trouble;
|
|
I will rescue him and honor him.
|
|
|
|
16. With long life I will satisfy him
|
|
and show him my salvation."
