# Psalms 91

*TJie security of the godly*

**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, to keep thee in all thy ways.
**12** They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
**13** Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
**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, andhon him him.
**16** With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
