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
1You can go to God Most High to hide.
You can go to God All-Powerful for protection.
2I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress.
My God, I trust in you.”
3God will save you from hidden dangers
and from deadly diseases.
4You can go to him for protection.
He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies.
You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield.
5You will have nothing to fear at night
and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day.
6You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark
or terrible suffering that comes at noon.
7A thousand people may fall dead at your side
or ten thousand right beside you,
but nothing bad will happen to you!
8All you will have to do is watch,
and you will see that the wicked are punished.
9You trust in the Lord for protection.
You have made God Most High your place of safety.
10So nothing bad will happen to you.
No diseases will come near your home.
11He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12Their hands will catch you
so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.
13You will have power to trample on lions
and poisonous snakes.
14The Lord says, “If someone trusts me, I will save them.
I will protect my followers who call to me for help.
15When my followers call to me, I will answer them.
I will be with them when they are in trouble.
I will rescue them and honor them.
16I will give my followers a long life
and show them my power to save.”
