Psalm 91  (1^st person)

 

I will dwell in the shelter of the Most High and will rest in

the shadow of the Almighty.

 

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

 

Surely, He will save me from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

 

He will cover me with His feathers, and under his wings

I will find refuge: His faithfulness will be my shield and rampart.

 

I will not fear the terror of night, not 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 my side, ten thousand at my right

hand, but it will not come near me.

 

I will only observe with my eyes and see the punishment

of the wicked, because I have made the Most high my dwelling-even the lord, who is my refuge-

 

Then no harm will befall me, no disaster will come near my tent.

 

For He will command His angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways:

 

They will lift me up in their hands, so that I will not strike my foot against a stone.

 

I will tread upon the cobra; I will trample the great lion

and serpent.

 

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him:

I will be protected, for I have acknowledged Your name.

 

I will call upon Him, and He will answer me; He will be with me in trouble and will deliver me and honor me.

 

With long life will He satisfy me and show me His salvation.”
