My Refuge and My Fortress
1He who dwells in 91:1 See Ps. 32:7the shelter of the Most High
will abide in 91:1 Ps. 121:5; [Isa. 25:4; 32:2]the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say91:2 Septuagint He will say to the Lord, “My 91:2 ver. 9; See Ps. 14:6refuge and my 91:2 See Ps. 18:2fortress,
my God, in whom I 91:2 See Ps. 11:1trust.”

3For he will deliver you from 91:3 Ps. 124:7; 140:5; 141:9; Prov. 6:5the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will 91:4 [1 Kgs. 8:7] cover you with his pinions,
and under his 91:4 See Ps. 17:8wings you will 91:4 Ps. 57:1find refuge;
his 91:4 See Ps. 36:5faithfulness is 91:4 See Ps. 35:2a shield and buckler.
591:5 Prov. 3:23; Isa. 43:1; See Job 5:19-23You will not fear 91:5 Song 3:8the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8You will only look with your eyes
and 91:8 See Ps. 37:34see the recompense of the wicked.

9Because you have made the Lord your 91:9 See Ps. 71:3dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my 91:9 [See ver. 2above]refuge91:9 Or For you, O Lord, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your dwelling place
1091:10 [ver. 5]; See Prov. 12:21no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
91:10 Ps. 38:11no plague come near your tent.

1191:11 Cited Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:10, 11For he will command his 91:11 See Ps. 34:7angels concerning you
to 91:11 Ex. 23:20guard you in all your ways.
12On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you 91:12 Prov. 3:23; [Ps. 37:24]strike your foot against a stone.
13You will tread on 91:13 [Dan. 6:23] the lion and the 91:13 [Acts 28:5] adder;
the young lion and 91:13 See Ps. 74:13the serpent you will 91:13 Luke 10:19; [Mark 16:18]trample underfoot.

14“Because he 91:14 Deut. 7:7; 10:15holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he 91:14 Ps. 9:10knows my name.
15When he 91:15 Job 12:4; See Ps. 50:15calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and 91:15 1 Sam. 2:30; John 12:26honor him.

and 91:16 Ps. 50:23; [Ps. 118:14, 21]show him my salvation.”
