Psalms 91:6
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,
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.
8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
