Salmo 91

In the shelter of the Most High

¹Whoever makes a home under the cover of the Most High \q will spend the night in the shade of the Almighty. ²This is what I say about the LORD: “He is my shelter and my stronghold, \q my God, the one I rely on.” ³It is he who will rescue you from the bird-catcher’s trap \q and from the plague that destroys. ⁴He will spread his feathers over you, and beneath his wings you will find shelter. \q His faithfulness surrounds you like a shield and a wall. ⁵You need not be afraid of the terrors that come at night \q or the arrow that speeds by in daylight, ⁶or the disease that prowls in the dark, \q or the destruction that ravages at noon. ⁷A thousand may drop beside you, \q ten thousand close by your right hand, \q yet it will not reach you. ⁸You will only watch with your own eyes \q and see the wicked paid back. ⁹For you, LORD, are my refuge! \q You have made the Most High your home.^{a 10}No evil will strike you; \q no plague will get close to your home. ¹¹For he will give his angels orders about you, \q to protect you wherever you go. ¹²They will carry you in their hands, \q and you will not hurt your foot on a stone. ¹³You will walk over lions and cobras; \q you will crush young lions and serpents under your feet. ¹⁴“Those who cling to me with love I will rescue; \q I will lift them high out of reach, because they know my name. ¹⁵They will cry out to me, and I will answer; \q in their distress I will stand by them; \q I will free them and bring them honor. ¹⁶I will give them their fill of long life \q and show them my saving help.”
