PSALM 91
1) He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2) I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”
3) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. 4) He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6) Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7) A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. 8) Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked.
9) Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10) No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11) For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. 12) In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13) You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14) “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15) He shall 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 I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” —NKJV
PSALM 23
The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake. Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over. Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place. —AMPC
​
Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors Him the most. Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way. You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as Your guest; blessings overflow! Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with You forever in Your home. —The Living Bible

14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15) and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17) and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints … Amen.
