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.

Psalm 91
1Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High
will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say to the Lord,
“⌞You are⌟ my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”
3He is the one who will rescue you from hunters’ traps
and from deadly plagues.
4He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge.
His truth is your shield and armor.
5You do not need to fear
terrors of the night,
arrows that fly during the day,
6plagues that roam the dark,
epidemics that strike at noon.
7They will not come near you,
even though a thousand may fall dead beside you
or ten thousand at your right side.
8You only have to look with your eyes
to see the punishment of wicked people.
9You, O Lord, are my refuge!
You have made the Most High your home.
10No harm will come to you.
No sickness will come near your house.
11He will put his angels in charge of you
to protect you in all your ways.
12They will carry you in their hands
so that you never hit your foot against a rock.
13You will step on lions and cobras.
You will trample young lions and snakes.
14Because you love me, I will rescue you.
I will protect you because you know my name.
15When you call to me, I will answer you.
I will be with you when you are in trouble.
I will save you and honor you.
16I will satisfy you with a long life.
I will show you how I will save you.
