Psalms 91:8
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.
You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
