- Chapter 91 -

You are my refuge and my fortress

1
Those who live under the protection of God Almighty, will be able to rest safely under his care.
2
I will declare to Yahweh, “You protect me; you are like a fort in which I am safe. You are my God, the one in whom I trust.”
3
He will rescue you from all hidden traps and save you from deadly diseases.
4
He will shield you as a bird protects her young under her wings. You will be safe in his care. His faithfully doing what he has promised is like a shield that will protect you.
5
You will not be afraid of things that happen during the night that could terrorize you or of arrows that your enemies will shoot at you during the day.
6
You will not be afraid of plagues that demons cause when they attack people at night or of other evil forces that kill people at midday.
7
Even if a thousand people fall dead alongside you, even if ten thousand people are dying around you, you will not be harmed.
8
Look and see that wicked people are being punished!
9
Yahweh protects me; trust God Almighty to shelter you, too.
10
If you do, nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near your house
11
because Yahweh will command his angels to protect you in whatever you are doing.
12
They will hold you up with their hands so that you will not hurt your foot on a big stone.
13
You will be kept safe from being harmed by your enemies; it will be as though you were killing strong lions and poisonous snakes by stepping on them!
14
Yahweh says, “I will rescue those who love me; I will protect them because they acknowledge that I am Yahweh.
15
When they call out to me, I will answer them. I will help them when they are experiencing trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
16
I will reward them by enabling them to live a long time, and I will save them.”

You are my refuge and my fortress

1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
3
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
4
He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
8
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
9
Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11
For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
12
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
13
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14
“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15
He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
