Psalm 91 The Living Bible Version

1 We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods.

2 This I declare, that He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I am trusting him.

3 For He rescues me from every trap and protects me from the fatal plague.

4 He will shield me with his wings! They will shelter me. His faithful promises are my armor.

5 Now I don’t need to be afraid of the dark anymore, nor fear the dangers of the day;

6 nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning.

7 Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me.

8 I will see how the wicked are punished, but I will not share it.

9 For Jehovah is my refuge! I choose God above all gods to shelter me.

10 How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near?

11 For He orders his angels to protect me wherever I go.

12 They will steady me with their hands to keep me from stumbling against the rocks on the trail.

13 I can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath my feet!

14 For the Lord says: “Because he loves me, I will rescue him; I will make him great because he trusts in my name.

15 When he calls on me, I will answer; I will be with him in trouble and rescue him and honor him.

16 I will satisfy him with a full life and give him my salvation.”
