Psalms

Psalm 91:3–5

³Surely He will deliver you

from the snare of the fowler,

and from the deadly plague.

⁴He will cover you with His feathers;

under His wings you will find refuge;

His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

⁵You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,
