Salmos 91

Security of One Who Trusts in the Lord.

1 One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,

My God, in whom I trust!"

3 For it is He who rescues you from the net of the trapper

And from the deadly plague.

4 He will cover you with His pinions,

And under His wings you may take refuge;

His faithfulness is a shield and wall.

5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night,

Or of the arrow that flies by day;

6 Of the plague that *91:6 Or walksstalks in darkness,

Or of the destruction that devastates at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But it shall not approach you.

8 You will only look on with your eyes

And see the retaliation against the wicked.

9 * 91:9 Or For You, O Lord, are my Refuge; You have made the Most High your dwelling place For you have made the Lord, my refuge,

The Most High, your dwelling place.

10 No evil will happen to you,

Nor will any plague come near your *91:10 Or dwellingtent.

11 For He will give His angels orders concerning you,

To protect you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will lift you up,

So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will walk upon the lion and cobra,

You will trample the young lion and the *91:13 Or dragonserpent.

14 "Because he has loved Me, I will save him;

I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.

15 "He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in *91:15 Or distresstrouble;

I will rescue him and honor him.

16 "I will satisfy him with *91:16 Lit length of daysa long life,

And *91:16 Or cause him to feast his eyes onshow him My salvation."
