# Chapter 91
|
|
1 The one who lives under the protection of the Most High
|
|
dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.
|
|
2 I will say concerning the Lord, who is my refuge and my fortress,
|
|
my God in whom I trust:
|
|
3 He himself will rescue you from the bird trap,
|
|
from the destructive plague.
|
|
4 He will cover you with his feathers;
|
|
you will take refuge under his wings.
|
|
His faithfulness will be a protective shield.
|
|
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
|
|
the arrow that flies by day,
|
|
6 the plague that stalks in darkness,
|
|
or the pestilence that ravages at noon.
|
|
7 Though a thousand fall at your side
|
|
and ten thousand at your right hand,
|
|
the pestilence will not reach you.
|
|
8 You will only see it with your eyes
|
|
and witness the punishment of the wicked.
|
|
9 Because you have made the Lord—my refuge,
|
|
the Most High—your dwelling place,
|
|
10 no harm will come to you;
|
|
no plague will come near your tent.
|
|
11 For he will give his angels orders concerning you,
|
|
to protect you in all your ways.
|
|
12 They will support you with their hands
|
|
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
|
|
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
|
|
you will trample the young lion and the serpent.
|
|
14 Because he has his heart set on me,
|
|
I will deliver him;
|
|
I will protect him because he knows my name.
|
|
15 When he calls out to me, I will answer him;
|
|
I will be with him in trouble.
|
|
I will rescue him and give him honor.
|
|
16 I will satisfy him with a long life
|
|
and show him my salvation. |
