Psalms 91:2-15

²I will declare to Yahweh, “You protect me; you are like a fort MET in which I am safe. You are my God, the one in whom I trust.”

³Yahweh will rescue you from all hidden traps and save you from deadly diseases.

⁴He will shield/protect you like a bird shields/protects its chicks MET with/under her wings. You will be safe ◄in his care/because he takes care of you►. His faithfully doing what he has promised is like a shield MET that will protect you.

⁵You will not be afraid of things that happen during the night that could ◄terrorize you/cause you to be very afraid►, or of arrows that your enemies will shoot at you during the day.

⁶You will not be afraid of ◄plagues/widespread sicknesses► that demons cause when they attack people at night, or of other evil forces that kill people at midday.

⁷Even if a thousand people fall dead alongside you, even if ten thousand people are dying around you, you will not be harmed.

⁸Look and see that ◄wicked people are being punished/God is punishing wicked people►!

⁹If you allow Yahweh to protect you, if you trust God Almighty to ◄shelter/take care of► you,

¹⁰nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near your house,

¹¹because Yahweh will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.

¹²They will hold you up with their hands, with the result that you will not hurt your foot on a big stone.

¹³You will be kept safe from being harmed by your enemies MET; it will be as though you are stepping on lions and poisonous snakes without them harming you!

¹⁴Yahweh says, “I will rescue those who love me, I will protect them because they ◄acknowledge that I am Yahweh/know me►.

¹⁵When they call out to me, I will answer them. I will help them when they are experiencing trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
