Psalms 91:12

Protection and safetyAngels and the spiritual world

10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.

11 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.

13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.

14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
