SCRIPTURE: Psalm 91 - "My God, in whom I trust."
Surely
he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly
pestilence. He
will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings
you will find refuge; his
faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of
night, nor the arrow that flies by day
nor the pestilence that stalks in the
darkness, nor the plague that
destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your
side, ten thousand
at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will
only observe
with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the
Most High your dwelling — even the LORD, who is my refuge — then
no harm
will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For
he will command his
angels concerning you to guard you in all your
ways; they will lift you up in
their hands, so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone. You will
tread upon the lion and the
cobra; you will trample the great lion and the
serpent. "Because he
loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue
him; I will protect him,
for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and
I will answer
him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor
him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
