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.”
3 Surely (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,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only (G)with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because 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.
12 In their hands they shall [c]bear you up,
(L)Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone.
13 You 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.
15 He 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.
16 With [f]long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

Psalm 91
King James Version
91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Salmos 91
La Biblia de las Américas
Seguridad del que confía en el Señor
91 El que habita al abrigo del Altísimo(A)
morará a la sombra del Omnipotente[a](B).
2 Diré yo al Señor: Refugio mío(C) y fortaleza mía(D),
mi Dios, en quien confío(E).
3 Porque Él te libra del lazo del cazador(F)
y de la pestilencia mortal(G).
4 Con sus plumas te cubre(H),
y bajo sus alas hallas refugio(I);
escudo y baluarte(J) es su fidelidad[b](K).
5 No temerás(L) el terror de la noche(M),
ni la flecha que vuela de día(N),
6 ni la pestilencia(O) que anda en tinieblas,
ni la destrucción(P) que hace estragos en medio del día.
7 Aunque caigan mil a tu lado
y diez mil a tu diestra,
a ti no se acercará(Q).
8 Con[c] tus ojos mirarás
y verás la paga de los impíos(R).
9 Porque has puesto al Señor, que es mi refugio[d](S),
al Altísimo, por tu habitación(T).
10 No te sucederá ningún mal(U),
ni plaga se acercará a tu morada[e].
11 Pues Él dará órdenes a sus ángeles acerca de ti(V),
para que te guarden en todos tus caminos.
12 En sus manos[f] te llevarán,
para que tu pie no tropiece en piedra(W).
13 Sobre el león y la cobra[g] pisarás(X);
hollarás al cachorro de león y a la serpiente[h].
14 Porque en mí ha puesto su amor(Y), yo entonces lo libraré;
lo exaltaré(Z), porque ha conocido mi nombre(AA).
15 Me invocará(AB), y le responderé;
yo estaré con él en la angustia;
lo rescataré y lo honraré(AC);
16 lo saciaré de larga vida[i](AD),
y le haré ver[j] mi salvación(AE).
