Psalms 91:3
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.
4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
