Chapter
91
She who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, "She is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
For she will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
She will cover you with her feathers. Under her wings you will take refuge. Her faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
For she will give her angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
"Because she has set her love on me, therefore I will deliver her. I will set her on high, because she has known my name.
She will call on me, and I will answer her. I will be with her in trouble. I will deliver her, and honor her.
I will satisfy her with long life, and show her my salvation."
