Strongs On/Off
Context
Psalm 91
91:1 As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of the sovereign One , and resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king –
91:2 I say this about the Lord , my shelter and my stronghold , my God in whom I trust –
91:3 he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the destructive plague .
91:4 He will shelter you with his wings ; you will find safety under his wings . His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall .
91:5 You need not fear the terrors of the night , the arrow that flies by day ,
91:6 the plague that comes in the darkness , or the disease that comes at noon .
91:7 Though a thousand may fall beside you, and a multitude on your right side , it will not reach you.
91:8 Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes – you will see the wicked paid back .
91:9 For you have taken refuge in the Lord , my shelter , the sovereign One .
91:10 No harm will overtake you; no illness will come near your home .
