Exodus 19:1-6

New King James Version

Israel at Mount Sinai

19 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, ^(A)they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. ²For they had departed from ^(B)Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before ^(C)the mountain.

³And ^(D)Moses went up to God, and the Lord ^(E)called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: ⁴^(F)‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how ^(G)I ^[a]bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. ⁵Now ^(H)therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and ^(I)keep My covenant, then ^(J)you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is ^(K)Mine. ⁶And you shall be to Me a ^(L)kingdom of priests and a ^(M)holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

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.”

³Surely ^(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,
⁶Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
⁸Only ^(G)with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹Because 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.
¹²In their hands they shall ^[c]bear you up,
^(L)Lest you ^[d]dash your foot against a stone.
¹³You 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.
¹⁵He 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.
¹⁶With ^[f]long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
