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