Psalms 91:4

Protection and safetyGod's faithfulnessGod's presence

2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.

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,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
