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.

my God in whom I trust.”

and from the deadly pestilence.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 He shall cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you shall find protection;
His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,
nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 A thousand may fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
but it shall not come near you.

to guard you in all your ways.
12They shall bear you up in their hands,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13You shall tread upon the lion and adder;
the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
and I will deliver him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him
and show him My salvation.
