Psalm 91
Abiding in the Shadow
of the Almighty |
1 |
He that dwelleth in the secret place of
the Most High
|
shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty. |
|
|
2 |
I will say of the LORD,
|
He is my refuge and my fortress: |
my God; in him will I
trust. |
|
|
3 |
Surely he shall deliver thee from the
snare of the fowler,
|
and from the noisome
pestilence. |
|
|
4 |
He shall cover thee with his
feathers,
|
and under his wings shalt thou trust: |
his truth shall be thy shield and
buckler. |
|
|
5 |
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror
by night;
|
nor for the arrow that flieth by
day; |
|
|
6 |
nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
|
nor for the destruction that wasteth
at noonday.
|
|
|
7 |
A thousand shall fall at thy side,
|
and ten thousand at thy right hand; |
but it shall not come nigh
thee. |
|
|
8 |
Only with thine eyes shalt thou
behold
|
and see the reward of the wicked.
|
|
|
9 |
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,
|
even the Most High, thy
habitation; |
|
|
10 |
there shall no evil befall thee,
|
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
|
|
|
11 |
For he shall give his angels charge over
thee, Mt. 4.6 · Lk. 4.10
|
to keep thee in all thy
ways. |
|
|
12 |
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
|
13 |
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and
adder:
|
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample
under feet. Lk.
10.19
|
|
|
14 |
Because he hath set his love upon me,
therefore will I deliver him:
|
I will set him on high, because he hath known my
name. |
|
|
15 |
He shall call upon me, and I will answer
him:
|
I will be with him in trouble; |
I will deliver him, and honor
him. |
|
|
16 |
With long life will I satisfy him,
|
and show him my
salvation. |
