Psalm 91

⁷You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

⁵For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

⁷How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!

⁸Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings

¹⁵If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

¹⁶And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

²⁰You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.

²The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

³You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.

⁴Trust in the Lord forever, because God the Lord is the Rock eternal.

¹⁰The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

²Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He also has become my salvation.”

⁵I cry to You, O Lord: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

⁵Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

⁷We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

⁹Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.

¹⁰He gives rain to the earth and sends water upon the fields.

¹¹He sets the lowly on high, so that mourners are lifted to safety.

²³until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare—not knowing it will cost him his life.

⁵Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

¹²For surely no man knows his time: Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds trapped in a snare, so men are ensnared in an evil time that suddenly falls upon them.

⁴Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

¹For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.

⁸Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings

¹¹As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.

¹But now, this is what the Lord says—He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!

²When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

³⁷O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

²When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

¹⁹He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven.

²⁰In famine He will redeem you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.

²³Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.

²⁴When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.

⁵I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.

⁶I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

⁶So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

⁷He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

⁵The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is the shade on your right hand.

⁶The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

⁴⁸He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.

⁶You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

⁷Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

²⁹Now at midnight the Lord struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.

³⁰During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.

³⁵And that very night the angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!

³They all ate the same spiritual food

⁴and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

¹²On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.

¹³The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a sign; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

²³And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.

⁶Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

³⁷those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the Lord.

³⁸Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.

¹⁰Now behold, as the Lord promised, He has kept me alive these forty-five years since He spoke this word to Moses, while Israel wandered in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old,

³⁴Wait for the Lord and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

²⁵Do not fear sudden danger or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

²⁶for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from the snare.

¹¹My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.

⁵You will see this with your own eyes, and you yourselves will say, ‘The Lord is great—even beyond the borders of Israel.’”

¹⁰The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.

¹¹Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”

¹¹Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

³Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.

¹A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.

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

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

⁴Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

⁵I cry to You, O Lord: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

⁵Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,

⁶the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

²¹No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.

⁷The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

¹⁵And the Lord will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.

²⁵But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

²⁴You will know that your tent is secure, and find nothing amiss when inspecting your home.

¹⁰For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

¹¹and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

⁷The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.

¹⁴Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

⁶in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

⁶“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

³Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.

²⁴Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the Lord is holding his hand.

²³Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.

¹¹and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

⁹In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

⁶“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

³“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.

¹⁹Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

¹⁸they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”

²²My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O king.”

³⁷David added, “The Lord, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the Lord be with you.”

⁵Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Suddenly a young lion came roaring at him,

⁶and the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

²⁰The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

¹⁰Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

²³Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

¹²Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

²⁷For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

²⁸And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

⁵Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?

³Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

²⁴Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

¹⁵Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

⁷If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

²⁶If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

³⁰Therefore, the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the Lord declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.

²for they will add length to your days, years and peace to your life.

¹⁶Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

⁴He asked You for life, and You granted it—length of days, forever and ever.

²³He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

²⁰No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.

²¹They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

²⁶You will come to the grave in full vigor, like a sheaf of grain gathered in season.
