Praise of a Song, by David. 91:1 He that
dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the
God of heaven.
91:2 He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I
will hope in him.
91:3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every]
troublesome matter.
91:4 He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under
his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.
91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by
day;
91:6 [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity,
and the evil spirit at noon-day.
91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.
91:9 For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High
thy refuge.
91:10 No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw night to the
dwelling.
91:11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways.
91:12 They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy
foot against a stone.
91:13 Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on
the lion and dragon.
91:14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him,
because he has known my name.
91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in
affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
91:16 I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation. |
91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret
place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him
will I trust.
91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the
noisome pestilence.
91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou
trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow
that flieth by day;
91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday.
91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the
wicked.
91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation;
91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh
thy dwelling.
91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways.
91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone.
91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
91:14 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.
91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in
trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. |
