Text -- Psalms 91:13-16 (NET)

91:13 You will subdue a lion and a snake; you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent. 91:14 The Lord says, “Because he is devoted to me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he is loyal to me. 91:15 When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor. 91:16 I will satisfy him with long life, and will let him see my salvation.
