In the Shadow of the Almighty

¹He who abides in the shelter of the Most High

Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say to Yahweh, “My refuge and my fortress,

My God, in whom I trust!”

³For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper

And from the destructive pestilence.

⁴He will cover you with His pinions,

And under His wings you will take refuge;

His truth is a large shield and bulwark.

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

Or arrow that flies by day;

⁶Of pestilence that moves in darkness,

Or of destruction that devastates at noon.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But it shall not approach you.

⁸You will only look on with your eyes

And see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹For you have made Yahweh—my refuge,[#91:9 Or For You O Yahweh are my Refuge; You have made the Most High your dwelling place]

The Most High—your dwelling place.

¹⁰No evil will befall you,

And no plague will come near your tent.

¹¹¶For He will command His angels concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

¹²On their hands they will bear you up,

Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

¹³You will tread upon the fierce lion and cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.

¹⁴¶“Because he has loved Me, therefore I will protect 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 his distress;

I will rescue him and honor him.

¹⁶“With a long life I will satisfy him[#91:16 Lit length of days]

And I will show him My salvation.”
