PSALM 91
You who sit down in the High
God's presence
spend the night in Shaddai's shadow,
say this: "Gods, you're my refuge.
I trust in you and I'm safe!"
That's right-he rescues you from hidden
traps,
shields you from deadly hazards.
His huge outstretched arms protect you-
under them you're perfectly safe;
his arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing-not wild wolves in the night,
not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the
darkness,
not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around,
drop like flies right and left,
no harm will ever graze you.
You'll stand untouched, watch it all from a
distance,
watch the wicked turn into corpses.
Yes, because GOD'S your refuge,
the High God your very home,
Evil can't get close to you,
harm can't get through the door.
He ordered his angels
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble they will catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You'll walk unharmed among lions and
snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.
"If you'll hold on to me for dear life,"
says GOD,
"I'll get you out of any trouble.
I'll give you the best care
if you'll only get to know and trust me.
Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in
bad times;
I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.
I'll give you long life,
give you a long drink of salvation!"
