| # Chapter 91
#### 1 | Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;
#### 2 | Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.
#### 3 | He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.
#### 4 | You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
#### 5 | You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,
#### 6 | Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.
#### 7 | You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
#### 8 | Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.
#### 9 | Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;
#### 10 | No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.
#### 11 | For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.
#### 12 | In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
#### 13 | You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.
#### 14 | Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.
#### 15 | When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.
#### 16 | With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.
