Psalms 91:5
3 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.
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.
7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
