Psalm 91:3-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare,
from the destroying plague,
4 He will shelter you with his pinions,
and under his wings you may take refuge;(A)
his faithfulness is a protecting shield.
5 You shall not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrow that flies by day,(B)
6 Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness,
nor the plague that ravages at noon.(C)
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
near you it shall not come.
8 You need simply watch;
the punishment of the wicked you will see.(D)
9 Because you have the Lord for your refuge
and have made the Most High your stronghold,
10 No evil shall befall you,
no affliction come near your tent.(E)
11 [a]For he commands his angels with regard to you,(F)
to guard you wherever you go.(G)
12 With their hands they shall support you,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.(H)
13 You can tread upon the asp and the viper,
trample the lion and the dragon.(I)

and under his wings you will find refuge;(C)
his faithfulness will be your shield(D) and rampart.

and see the punishment of the wicked.(F)

to guard you in all your ways;(I)

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.(J)
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.(K)
