Psalm 91
New King James Version
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
91 He (
A)who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide (
B)under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 (
C)I will say of the Lord, “
He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely (
D)He shall deliver you from the snare of the [
a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 (
E)He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth
shall be your shield and [
b]buckler.
5 (
F)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 lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only (
G)with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord,
who is(
H)my refuge,
Even the Most High, (
I)your dwelling place,
10 (
J)No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 (
K)For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In
their hands they shall [
c]bear you up,
(
L)Lest you [
d]dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will [
e]set him on high, because he has (
M)known My name.
15 He shall (
N)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I
will be (
O)with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With [
f]long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
