Psalms 91:4 · KJV
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
