Psalms 91 — T4T
91Verse 1Those who live under the protection of God Almighty,will be able to rest safely under his care.Verse 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.”Verse 3Yahweh will rescue you from all hidden trapsand save you from deadly diseases.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 7Even if 1,000 people fall dead alongside you,even if 10,000 people are dying around you,
you will not be harmed.Verse 8Look and seethat ◄wicked people are being punished/God is punishing wicked people►!Verse 9If you allow Yahweh to protect you,if you trust God Almighty to ◄shelter/take care of► you,Verse 10nothing evil will happen to you;no plague will come near your house,Verse 11because Yahweh will command his angelsto protect you wherever you go.Verse 12They will hold you up with their hands,with the result that you will not hurt your foot on a big stone.Verse 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!Verse 14Yahweh says, “I will rescue those who love me,I will protect them because they ◄acknowledge that I am Yahweh/know me►.Verse 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.Verse 16I will reward them by enabling them to live a long time,and I will save them.”
