PSALM 91
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1He that doth in the secret place
of the most High reside,
Under the shade of him that is
th' Almighty shall abide.
2I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge still,
He is my fortress, and my God,
and in him trust I will.
3Assuredly he shall thee save,
and give deliverance
From subtile fowler's snare,
and from the noisome pestilence.
4His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust
under his wings shall be:
His faithfulness shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
5Thou shalt not need to be afraid
for terrors of the night;
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
by day, while it is light;
6Nor for the pestilence, that walks
in darkness secretly;
Nor for destruction, that doth waste
at noon-day openly.
7A thousand at thy side shall fall,
on thy right hand shall lie
Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee
it shall not once come nigh.
8Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,
and a beholder be;
And thou therein the just reward
of wicked men shalt see.
9Because the Lord, who constantly
my refuge is alone,
Ev'n the most High, is made by thee
thy habitation;
10No plague shall near thy dwelling come;
no ill shall thee befall:
11For thee to keep in all thy ways
his angels charge he shall.
12They in their hands shall bear thee up,
still waiting thee upon;
Lest thou at any time should'st dash
thy foot against a stone.
13Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
and on the lion strong;
Thy feet on dragons trample shall,
and on the lions young.
14Because on me he set his love,
I'll save and set him free;
Because my great name he hath known,
I will him set on high.
15He'll call on me, I'll answer him;
I will be with him still
In trouble, to deliver him,
and honour him I will.
16With length of days unto his mind
I will him satisfy;
I also my salvation
will cause his eyes to see.

Psalms 91
91
1Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie. 2I will say vnto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust. 3Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence. 4Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day: 6Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone day. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee. 8Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked. 9For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge. 10There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle. 11For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes. 12They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone. 13Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete. 14Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name. 15He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him. 16With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.
