What is Psalm 91?
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
He will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to Jehovah: My hope, and my castle;
My God, in whom I will trust.
He will free you from the hunter's snare,
From the destructive plague.
With its feathers it will cover you,
And under his wings you will be safe;
Shield and buckler is his truth.
You will not fear the night terror,
Nor an arrow that flies by day,
Nor pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor the plague that destroys at noonday.
A thousand will fall by your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it will not come to you.
Certainly with your eyes you will look
And you see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my hope,
To the Most High for your room,
No harm will befall you,
No plague will touch your home.
For he will command his angels about you,
May they keep you in all your ways.
They will carry you in their hands,
So that your foot does not stumble on a stone.
On the lion and the asp you will tread;
You will trample the lion's cub and the dragon.
Because he has put his love on me, I will also deliver him;
I will put him on high, because he has known my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in anguish;
I will deliver him and glorify him.
I will satisfy him with long life,
And I will show you my salvation. "
