Psalm 91

New Revised Standard NRS

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,

2 will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."

3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;

4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day,

6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8 You will only look with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place,

10 no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name.

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

16 With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation.

The Message Bible MSG

1 You who sit down in the High God's presence, spend the night in Shaddai's shadow,

2 Say this: "God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!"

3 That's right - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards.

4 His huge outstretched arms protect you - under them you're perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm.

5 Fear nothing - not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day,

6 Not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon.

7 Even though others succumb all around, drop like flies right and left, no harm will even graze you.

8 You'll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance, watch the wicked turn into corpses.

9 Yes, because God's your refuge, the High God your very own home,

10 Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door.

11 He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go.

12 If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling.

13 You'll walk unharmed among lions and snakes, and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

14 "If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says God, "I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me.

15 Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.

16 I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!"
