  1. Psalm 91:1 Hebrew Shaddai

Because you have made the Lord your refuge,[a]
    the Most High your dwelling place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
    no scourge come near your tent.(A)

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways.(B)
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
    so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
    the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.(C)

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
    I will protect those who know my name.(D)
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
    I will be with them in trouble;
    I will rescue them and honor them.(E)
16 With long life I will satisfy them
    and show them my salvation.(F)
