Psalm
91:1–16
The
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 to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
He
Himself will deliver you from the hunter’s net,
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 is lovingly devoted to Me,
I will deliver him;
I will exalt 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. (HCS)
