Psalms 91:3-14

³He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

⁴You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

⁵You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

⁶Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.

⁷You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

⁸Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.

⁹Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;

¹⁰No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

¹¹For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.

¹²In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

¹³You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.

¹⁴Because 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.
