91:13 You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14 Quoniam in me speravit, liberabo eum; protegam eum, quoniam cognovit nomen meum.
91:14 Por cuanto en mí ha puesto su voluntad, yo también lo libraré: pondrélo en alto, por cuanto ha conocido mi nombre.
91:14 “Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 Clamabit ad me, et ego exaudiam eum; cum ipso sum in tribulatione: eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum.
91:15 Me invocará, y yo le responderé: con él estaré yo en la angustia: lo libraré, y le glorificaré.
91:15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 Longitudine dierum replebo eum, et ostendam illi salutare meum.]
91:16 Saciarélo de larga vida, y mostraréle mi salud.
91:16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 91.
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This Psalm is entitled, "The prayer of Moses the man of God," through whom, His man, God gave the law to His people, through whom He freed them from the house of slavery, and led them forty years through the wilderness. Moses was therefore the Minister of the Old, and the Prophet of the New Testament.

"Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk and thou shalt trample under feet the lion and the dragon." With faith thou hast the power to walk upon serpents and scorpions.
