المَزامِير 91

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

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

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

He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

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

For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

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

With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

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

Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

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

Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

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

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

٨ 8 إِنَّمَا تُشَاهِدُ بِعَيْنَيْكَ مُعَاقَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ.

But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

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

(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

١٠ 10 فَلَنْ يُصِيبَكَ شَرٌّ وَلَنْ تَقْتَرِبَ بَلِيَّةٌ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ

Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

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

For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

١٢ 12 عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ قَدَمَكَ.

On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

١٣ 13 تَطَأُ عَلَى الأَسَدِ وَالأَفْعَى، تَدُوسُ الشِّبْلَ وَالثُّعْبَانَ.

On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

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

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

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

He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

١٦ 16 أُطِيلُ عُمْرَهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.

With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
