Psalm 91:1-6; Psalm 91:14-16 (New International Reader's Version)

1 The person who rests in the shadow of the Most High God
will be kept safe by the Mighty One.

2 I will say about the Lord,
"He is my place of safety.
He is like a fort to me.
He is my God. I trust in him."

3 He will certainly save you from hidden traps
and from deadly sickness.

4 He will cover you with his wings.
Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety.
He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower.

5 You won't have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night.
You won't have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.

6 You won't have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness.
You won't have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.


14 The Lord says, "I will save the one who loves me.
I will keep him safe, because he trusts in me.

15 He will call out to me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in times of trouble.
I will save him and honor him.

16 I will give him a long and full life.
I will save him."
