  1. Psalm 91:1 Hebrew Shaddai

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.”

    no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels(B) concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;(C)
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.(D)
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.(E)

14 “Because he[a] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges 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.(F)
16 With long life(G) I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.(H)
