91:1 You who live in the shelter of ‘Elyon, who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai,
91:2 who say to Adonai, “My refuge! My fortress! My God, in whom I trust!” —
91:3 he will rescue you from the trap of the hunter and from the plague of calamities;
91:4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his truth is a shield and protection.
91:5 You will not fear the terrors of night or the arrow that flies by day,
91:6 or the plague that roams in the dark, or the scourge that wreaks havoc at noon.
91:7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it won’t come near you.
91:8 Only keep your eyes open, and you will see how the wicked are punished.
91:9 For you have made Adonai, the Most High, who is my refuge, your dwelling-place.
91:10 No disaster will happen to you, no calamity will come near your tent;
91:11 for he will order his angels to care for you and guard you wherever you go.
91:12 They will carry you in their hands, so that you won’t trip on a stone.
91:13 You will tread down lions and snakes, young lions and serpents you will trample underfoot.
91:14 “Because he loves me, I will rescue him; because he knows my name, I will protect him.
91:15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble. I will extricate him and bring him honor.
91:16 I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.”
