Psalm 91 New King James Version

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
²I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

³Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the ^[a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
⁴He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and ^[b]buckler.
⁵You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
⁶Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
⁸Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
¹⁰No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
¹¹For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
¹²In their hands they shall ^[c]bear you up,
Lest you ^[d]dash your foot against a stone.
¹³You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

¹⁴“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will ^[e]set him on high, because he has known My name.
¹⁵He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶With ^[f]long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

The Refuge Of God’s Presence

Psalm 84:1-4 New King James Version

The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God

To the Chief Musician. On^[a] an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

84 How lovely ^[b]is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
²My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

³Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
⁴Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah

Psalm 84:5-8 New King James Version

⁵Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
⁶As they pass through the Valley of ^[a]Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with ^[b]pools.
⁷They go from strength to strength;
^[c]Each one appears before God in Zion.

⁸O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah

Psalm 84:9-12 New King James Version

⁹O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your ^[a]anointed.

¹⁰For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather ^[b]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

¹²O Lord of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
