Psalm 91

Assurance of God’s Protection

You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
    who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,[a](A)
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
    my God, in whom I trust.”(B)
For he will deliver you from the snare of the hunter
    and from the deadly pestilence;(C)
he will cover you with his pinions,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness is a shield and defense.(D)
You will not fear the terror of the night
    or the arrow that flies by day(E)
or the pestilence that stalks in darkness
    or the destruction that wastes at noonday.(F)

A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.(G)

Because you have made the Lord your refuge,[b]
    the Most High your dwelling place,
