PSALM 91

 

He that dwells in the help of the Most High shall abide in the shelter of the God of heaven.

 

He shall say unto the Lord:  Thou art my helper and my refuge.  He is my God , and I will hope in Him.

 

For He shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters and from every troubling word.

 

With His shoulders will He overshadow thee, and under His wings shall thou have hope.

 

With a shield will His truth encompass thee; thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

 

Nor for the thing that walks in darkness, nor for the mishap and demon of noonday.

 

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but unto thee shall it not come nigh.

 

Only with thine eyes shall thou behold, and thou shall see the reward of sinners.

 

For Thou, O Lord, art my hope.  Thou made the Most High thy refuge;

 

No evils shall come nigh thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh unto thy dwelling.

 

For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

 

On their hands shall they bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

 

Upon the asp and basilisk shall thou tread, and thou shall trample upon the lion and dragon.

 

For he has set his hope on Me, and I will deliver him; I will shelter him because he has known My name.

 

He shall cry unto Me, and I will hearken unto him.  I am with him in affliction, and I will rescue him and glorify him.

 

With length of days will I satisfy him, and I will show him My salvation.
