Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the
Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in
whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the
deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you
will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not
fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence
that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand
may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come
near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the
wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling - even the LORD, who is my
refuge - then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For
he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they
will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a
stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great
lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I
will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor
him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Deuteronomy 33 v 29:
Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is
your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before
you, and you will trample down their high places.
Psalm 27 v 1 & 5:
The LORD is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The LORD is the
stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid? For in the day of trouble he
will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his
tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.
Psalm 31v 20:
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your
dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with
songs of deliverance.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in
time of trouble. The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from

Psalm 57 v 1:
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I

Psalm 62 v 5-8:
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock
and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my
honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times,
O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 119 v 114:
You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.
Psalm 121:
I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from
the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who
watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will
neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you- the LORD is your shade at
your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The
LORD will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life; the LORD will
watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Psalm 125 v 1-2:
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but
endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his
people both now and forevermore.
Psalm 145 v 18:
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
2 Samuel 22 v 31-37:
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a
shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the LORD? And who
is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way
perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the
heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You
give me your shield of victory; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the
path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD,

But now, this is what the LORD says - he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed
you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name;
you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you
pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the
fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the
LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your
ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my
sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people
in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring
your children from the east and gather you from the west.
Matthew 10 v 28-31:
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be
afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two
sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart
from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
1 Peter 3 v 12-13:
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to
their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. Who is
going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
Hebrews 13 v 5-6:
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,
because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we
say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man
do to me?"
