Psalms 91
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1You can go to God Most High to hide. You can go to God All-Powerful for protection.
- 2I say to the LORD, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.”
- 3God will save you from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases.
- 4You can go to him for protection. He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies. You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield.
- 5You will have nothing to fear at night and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day.
- 6You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon.
- 7A thousand people may fall dead at your side or ten thousand right beside you, but nothing bad will happen to you!
- 8All you will have to do is watch, and you will see that the wicked are punished.
- 9You trust in the LORD for protection. You have made God Most High your place of safety.
- 10So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home.
- 11He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
- 12Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.
- 13You will have power to trample on lions and poisonous snakes.
- 14The Lord says, “If someone trusts me, I will save them. I will protect my followers who call to me for help.
- 15When my followers call to me, I will answer them. I will be with them when they are in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.
