Now you don’t need to be afraid of the dark anymore, nor fear the dangers of the day; nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning.[a]

Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me. I will see how the wicked are punished, but I will not share it. For Jehovah is my refuge! I choose the God above all gods to shelter me. 10 How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near? 11 For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. 12 They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the trail. 13 You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath your feet!

  1. Psalm 91:6 in the morning, literally, “at noonday.”

You will not fear(A) the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.(B)

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm(C) will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels(D) concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;(E)
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.(F)
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.(G)
