Psalm 91

New Coverdale Version

Whoever dwells under the defense of the Most High * shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say unto the Lord, “You are my refuge and my stronghold, * my God in whom I will trust.”

For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter * and from the deadly pestilence.

He shall defend you under his wings, and you shall be safe under his feathers; * his faithfulness and truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, * nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Of the pestilence that walks in darkness, * nor of the sickness that destroys at noonday.

A thousand shall fall beside you, and ten thousand at your right hand, * but it shall not come near you.

Indeed, with your eyes you shall behold * and see the reward of the ungodly.

Because you have said, “The Lord is my refuge,” * and have made the Most High your stronghold,

There shall no evil happen to you, * neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over you, * to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you in their hands, * that you hurt not your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and adder; * the young lion and the serpent you shall trample under your feet.

“Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him; * I will lift him up, because he has known my Name.

He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; * indeed, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him and bring him honor.

With long life I will satisfy him, * and show him my salvation.”
