المَزامِير 91

١ 1 الْمُحْتَمِي بِقُدْسِ أَقْدَاسِ الْعَلِيِّ، فِي ظِلِّ الْقَدِيرِ يَبِيتُ،

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,

٢ 2 أَقُولُ لِلرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَحِصْنِي، إِلَهِي الَّذِي بِهِ وَثِقْتُ

He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”

٣ 3 لأَنَّهُ يُنْقِذُكَ حَقّاً مِنْ فَخِّ الصَّيَّادِ وَمِنَ الْوَبَاءِ الْمُهْلِكِ.

For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

٤ 4 بِرِيشِهِ النَّاعِمِ يُظَلِّلُكَ، وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِ تَحْتَمِي، فَتَكُونُ لَكَ وُعُودُهُ الأَمِينَةُ تُرْساً وَمِتْرَاساً،

He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.

٥ 5 فَلَا تَخَافُ مِنْ هَوْلِ اللَّيْلِ وَلَا مِنْ سَهْمٍ يَطِيرُ فِي النَّهَارِ.

You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,

٦ 6 وَلَا مِنْ وَبَاءٍ يَسْرِي فِي الظَّلامِ، وَلَا مِنْ هَلاكٍ يُفْسِدُ فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ.

Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,

٧ 7 يَتَسَاقَطُ عَنْ جَانِبِكَ أَلْفُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ عَشَرَةُ آلافٍ، وَأَنْتَ لَا يَمَسُّكَ سُوءٌ.

One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.

٨ 8 إِنَّمَا تُشَاهِدُ بِعَيْنَيْكَ مُعَاقَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ.

But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,

٩ 9 لأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: الرَّبُّ مَلْجَإِي، وَاتَّخَذْتَ الْعَلِيَّ مَلاذاً،

(For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.

١٠ 10 فَلَنْ يُصِيبَكَ شَرٌّ وَلَنْ تَقْتَرِبَ بَلِيَّةٌ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ

Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,

١١ 11 فَإِنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوكَ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِكَ.

For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,

١٢ 12 عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ قَدَمَكَ.

On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

١٣ 13 تَطَأُ عَلَى الأَسَدِ وَالأَفْعَى، تَدُوسُ الشِّبْلَ وَالثُّعْبَانَ.

You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.

١٤ 14 قَالَ الرَّبُّ: أُنَجِّيهِ لأَنَّهُ تَعَلَّقَ بِي. أُرَفِّعُهُ لأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ اسْمِي.

Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.

١٥ 15 يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ، أُرَافِقُهُ فِي الضِّيقِ، أُنْقِذُهُ وَأُكْرِمُهُ

He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.

١٦ 16 أُطِيلُ عُمْرَهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.

I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
