المَزامِير 91

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

He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.

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

I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

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

For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.

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

He will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.

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

You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,

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

or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.

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

A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.

٨ 8 إِنَّمَا تُشَاهِدُ بِعَيْنَيْكَ مُعَاقَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ.

You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.

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

For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.

١٠ 10 فَلَنْ يُصِيبَكَ شَرٌّ وَلَنْ تَقْتَرِبَ بَلِيَّةٌ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ

No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.

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

For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard you in all your ways.

١٢ 12 عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ قَدَمَكَ.

They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.

١٣ 13 تَطَأُ عَلَى الأَسَدِ وَالأَفْعَى، تَدُوسُ الشِّبْلَ وَالثُّعْبَانَ.

You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.

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

Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.

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

When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.

١٦ 16 أُطِيلُ عُمْرَهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.

I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.
