Psalms 91:11
9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
