Psalm 91 describes God as a refuge and fortress who protects those who dwell in his shelter. The psalmist expresses confidence that God will deliver them from snares, pestilence, terror, and destruction. Though a thousand may fall at their side and ten thousand at their right hand, harm will not come near the one taking refuge in God. God commands his angels to guard those who make him their dwelling place. Those protected by God can tread on lions and snakes without harm. God promises to answer calls for help, be present in times of trouble, and grant long life to those who know and call on his name.

91 He who dwells in a the shelter of the Most High will abide in bthe shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say1 to the LORD, “My crefuge and my dfortress, my God, in whom I etrust.” 3 For he will deliver you from fthe snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will gcover you with his pinions, and under his hwings you will ifind refuge; his jfaithfulness is ka shield and buckler. 5 l You will not fear mthe 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 nsee the recompense of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the LORD your odwelling place— the Most High, who is my crefuge2— 10 p no evil shall be allowed to befall you, q no plague come near your tent. 11 r For he will command his sangels concerning you to tguard you in all your ways. 12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you ustrike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on vthe lion and the wadder; the young lion and xthe serpent you will ytrample underfoot. 14 “Because he zholds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he aknows my name. 15 When he bcalls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and chonor him. 16 With dlong life I will satisfy him and eshow him my salvation.”
