| Chapter 91 |
1 |
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
|
2 |
I say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress; my God, I will confide in him.
|
3 |
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the destructive pestilence.
|
4 |
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou find refuge: his truth is a shield and buckler.
|
5 |
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day,
|
6 |
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, 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 Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place,
|
10 |
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
|
11 |
For he shall give his angels charge concerning 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 the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.
|
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 length of days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
