Psalms

Psalm 91:5–7

⁵You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

⁷Though a thousand may fall at your side,

and ten thousand at your right hand,

no harm will come near you.
