Psalms 91:1-8

Psalms 91

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.

4He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

5You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

7Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.

8You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
