Psalms 91:9-16

Psalms 91

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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