Psalm 91:5-10

My Refuge and My Fortress

5 l You will not fear m the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

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

9 Because you have made the Lord your o dwelling place -
the Most High, who is my c refuge 1 -
10 p no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
q no plague come near your tent.
