91:1 As for you, the one who lives 2 in the shelter of the sovereign One, 3
and resides in the protective shadow 4 of the mighty king 5 –
91:2 I say this about the Lord, my shelter and my stronghold,
my God in whom I trust –
91:3 he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the hunter 6
and from the destructive plague.
91:4 He will shelter you 7 with his wings; 8
you will find safety under his wings.
His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall. 9
91:5 You need not fear the terrors of the night, 10
the arrow that flies by day,
91:6 the plague that comes in the darkness,
or the disease that comes at noon. 11
91:7 Though a thousand may fall beside you,
and a multitude on your right side,
it 12 will not reach you.
91:8 Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes –
you will see the wicked paid back. 13
91:9 For you have taken refuge in the Lord,
my shelter, the sovereign One. 14
91:10 No harm will overtake 15 you;
no illness 16 will come near your home. 17
91:11 For he will order his angels 18
to protect you in all you do. 19
91:12 They will lift you up in their hands,
so you will not slip and fall on a stone. 20
91:13 You will subdue 21 a lion and a snake; 22
you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent.
91:14 The Lord says, 23
“Because he is devoted to me, I will deliver him;
I will protect him 24 because he is loyal to me. 25
91:15 When he calls out to me, I will answer him.
I will be with him when he is in trouble;
I will rescue him and bring him honor.
91:16 I will satisfy him with long life, 26
and will let him see my salvation.
