God Protects Israel - Psalm 91

Psalm 91

Psalm 91 (21st Century King James Version)

Psalm 91

   He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.    
 ²I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him will I trust."
   
 ³Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence.
   
 ⁴He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust; His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
   
 ⁵Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day,
   
 ⁶nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that layeth waste at noonday.
   
 ⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee.
   
 ⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
   
 ⁹Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation,
   
 ¹⁰there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
   
 ¹¹For He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways.
   
 ¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
   
 ¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample underfoot.
   
 ¹⁴"Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.
   
 ¹⁵He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
   
 ¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation."

Proverbs 3

Proverbs 3 (21st Century King James Version)

Proverbs 3

   My son, forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments;    
 ²for length of days and long life and peace shall they add to thee.
   
 ³Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thine heart.
   
 ⁴So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
   
 ⁵Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding;
   
 ⁶in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
   
 ⁷Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil.
   
 ⁸It shall be health to thy flesh and marrow to thy bones.
   
 ⁹Honor the LORD with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
   
 ¹⁰so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
   
 ¹¹My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither be weary of His correction;
   
 ¹²for whom the LORD loveth, He correcteth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
   
 ¹³Happy is the man that findeth wisdom and the man that getteth understanding;
   
 ¹⁴for the merchandising of it is better than the merchandising of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
   
 ¹⁵She is more precious than rubies, and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared to her.
   
 ¹⁶Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honor.
   
 ¹⁷Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
   
 ¹⁸She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and happy is everyone that retaineth her.
   
 ¹⁹The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens;
   
 ²⁰by His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
   
 ²¹My son, let not these depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion;
   
 ²²so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace around thy neck.
   
 ²³Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble;
   
 ²⁴when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
   
 ²⁵Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh;
   
 ²⁶for the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being snared.
   
 ²⁷Withhold not good from them to whom it is due when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
   
 ²⁸Say not unto thy neighbor, "Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give," when thou hast it with thee.
   
 ²⁹Devise not evil against thy neighbor, seeing he dwelleth securely beside thee.
   
 ³⁰Strive not with a man without cause if he has done thee no harm.
   
 ³¹Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways;
   
 ³²for the froward is an abomination to the LORD, but His secret is with the righteous.
   
 ³³The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but He blesseth the habitation of the just.
   
 ³⁴Surely He scorneth the scorners, but He giveth grace unto the lowly.
   
 ³⁵The wise shall inherit glory, but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
