Psalm 91

³ He will certainly save you from hidden traps
    and from deadly sickness.
⁴ He will cover you with his wings.
    Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety.
    He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower.
⁵ You won’t have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night.
    You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.
⁶ You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness.
    You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.
⁷ A thousand may fall dead at your side.
    Ten thousand may fall near your right hand.
    But no harm will come to you.
⁸ You will see with your own eyes
    how God punishes sinful people.

⁹ Suppose you say, “The Lord is the one who keeps me safe.”
    Suppose you let the Most High God be like a home to you.
¹⁰ Then no harm will come to you.
    No terrible plague will come near your tent.
¹¹ The Lord will command his angels
    to take good care of you.
¹² They will lift you up in their hands.
    Then you won’t trip over a stone.
¹³ You will walk on lions and cobras.
    You will crush mighty lions and poisonous snakes.

¹⁴ The Lord says, “I will save the one who loves me.
    I will keep him safe, because he trusts in me.
¹⁵ He will call out to me, and I will answer him.
    I will be with him in times of trouble.
    I will save him and honor him.
¹⁶ I will give him a long and full life.
    I will save him.”
