Psalm 91, side by side

¹He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

²I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

³Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.

³Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

⁴He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

⁴He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

⁵You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

⁶Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

⁷Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.

⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

⁸You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.

⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

⁹Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—

⁹Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

¹⁰no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.

¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

¹¹For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

¹¹For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

¹²They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹³You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.

¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

¹⁴“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.

¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

¹⁵When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.

¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

¹⁶With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”

¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
