المَزامِير 91

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

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest 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 deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

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

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

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

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,

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

nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

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 come near you.

٨ 8 إِنَّمَا تُشَاهِدُ بِعَيْنَيْكَ مُعَاقَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ.

You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

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

Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

١٠ 10 فَلَنْ يُصِيبَكَ شَرٌّ وَلَنْ تَقْتَرِبَ بَلِيَّةٌ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ

no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

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

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

١٢ 12 عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ قَدَمَكَ.

They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

١٣ 13 تَطَأُ عَلَى الأَسَدِ وَالأَفْعَى، تَدُوسُ الشِّبْلَ وَالثُّعْبَانَ.

You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

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

“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.

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

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

١٦ 16 أُطِيلُ عُمْرَهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.

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