- Chapter 91 -

You are my refuge and my fortress

1
He who is dwelling || In the secret place of the Most High, || Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
2
He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
3
For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, || From a calamitous pestilence.
4
He covers you over with His pinion, || And under His wings you trust, || His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
5
You are not afraid of fear by night, || Of arrow that flies by day,
6
Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, || Of destruction that destroys at noon,
7
One thousand fall at your side, || And a myriad at your right hand, || [But] it does not come near to you.
8
But with your eyes you look, || And you see the reward of the wicked,
9
(For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), || You made the Most High your habitation.
10
Evil does not happen to you, || And a plague does not come near your tent,
11
For He charges His messengers for you, || To keep you in all your ways,
12
On the hands they bear you up, || Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13
You tread on lion and cobra, || You trample young lion and dragon.
14
Because he has delighted in Me, || I also deliver him—I set him on high, || Because he has known My Name.
15
He calls Me, and I answer him, || I [am] with him in distress, || I deliver him, and honor him.
16
I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, || And I cause him to look on My salvation!

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.”
