my God, in whom I trust.”

Their safety.

91:3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,
and from the deadly pestilence.

Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

91:5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies by day;

91:6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

I will be with him in trouble.
I will deliver him, and honor him.

91:16 I will satisfy him with long life,
and show him my salvation.”
