Psalms 91:7-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. Even if one thousand people fall dead next to you,ten thousand right beside you—it won’t happen to you.

8. Just look with your eyes,and you will see the wicked punished.

9. Because you’ve made the Lord my refuge,the Most High, your place of residence—

10. no evil will happen to you;no disease will come close to your tent.

11. Because he will order his messengers to help you,to protect you wherever you go.

12. They will carry you with their own handsso you don’t bruise your foot on a stone.

13. You’ll march on top of lions and vipers;you’ll trample young lions and serpents underfoot.

14. God says, "Because you are devoted to me,I’ll rescue you.I’ll protect you because you know my name.

15. Whenever you cry out to me, I’ll answer.I’ll be with you in troubling times.I’ll save you and glorify you.

16. I’ll fill you full with old age.I’ll show you my salvation."
