Psalm 91

When sick or in pain read Psalm 91

Laura Ingalls Wilder (as found in her bedside Bible after her death)


Psalm 91


1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.



2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."


3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.


4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.


5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,


6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.


7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.


8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.


9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—even the LORD, who is my refuge-


10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.


11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;


12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.


13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.


14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.


15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."


All we have to do is believe and his protection is ours.
