Psalms 91 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version
Psalms 91
1Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie.
2I will say vnto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust.
3Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.
4Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler.
5Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:
6Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone day.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee.
8Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked.
9For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.
10There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.
11For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes.
12They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.
13Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete.
14Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name.
15He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.
16With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.
Psalms 91
1He 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 for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth 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, which 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 under feet.
14Because 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 honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
