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
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
1He #Ps. 27:5; 31:20; 32:7who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide #Ps. 17:8; Is. 25:4; 32:2under the shadow of the Almighty.
2#Ps. 142:5I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3Surely #Ps. 124:7; Prov. 6:5He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4#Ps. 17:8He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5#(Job 5:19; Ps. 112:7; Is. 43:2)You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8Only #Ps. 37:34; Mal. 1:5with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9Because you have made the Lord, who is #Ps. 91:2my refuge,
Even the Most High, #Ps. 90:1your dwelling place,
10#(Prov. 12:21)No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11#Ps. 34:7; Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:10; (Heb. 1:14)For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12In their hands they shall bear you up,
#Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:11Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has #(Ps. 9:10)known My name.
15He shall #Job 12:4; Ps. 50:15call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be #Is. 43:2with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
