Psalm 91

1 Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;

1 Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty,

2 Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.

2 can say to him, "You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust."

3 He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

3 He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases.

4 You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

4 He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you.

5 You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

5 You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day

6 Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.

6 or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight.

7 You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

7 A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you, but you will not be harmed.

8 Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.

8 You will look and see how the wicked are punished.

9 Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;

9 You have made the Lord your defender, the Most High your protector,

10 No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

10 and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.

11 For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.

14 Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

14 God says, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.

15 When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

15 When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them.

16 With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.

16 I will reward them with long life; I will save them."
