Chapter 91 | |
1 | He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. |
2 | I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. |
3 | Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. |
4 | He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. |
5 | Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; |
6 | Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. |
7 | A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. |
8 | Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. |
9 | Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; |
10 | There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. |
11 | For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to
keep thee in all thy ways. |
12 | They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone. |
13 | Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. |
14 | Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. |
15 | He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. |
16 | With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. |
