< 詩篇 91 >

1 居住在至高者護佑下的人,在全能者蔭庇下居住的人,
Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;
2 請向上主說:我的避難所,我的碉堡,我的天主,我向您投靠。
Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.
3 祂必救您脫離獵人戶的縲絏,祂必救你脫免害人的瘟疫。
He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.
4 祂以自己的羽毛掩護你,叫你住祂的翼下逃避:祂的忠信是盾牌和鎧衣。
You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
5 你不必怕黑夜驚人的顫慄,也不必怕白天亂飛的箭矢,
You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,
6 黑暗中行的瘟疫,正午毒害人的癘疾。
Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.
7 在你身旁雖倒斃一千,在你右邊雖跌仆一萬,疫疾卻不到你身邊。
You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
8 然而你親眼要觀臨,要見到惡人的報應。
Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.
9 你既知道上主是你的避難所,你就該以至高者為你的碉堡;
Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;
10 災殃不會走近你的身邊,禍患也不臨近你的帳幔。
No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.
11 上主必為你委派祂的天使,在你行走的每條路上保護您。
For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.
12 他們把你托在自己的手掌,不使你的腳在石頭上碰傷。
In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
13 你可經過獅子和毒蛇身上,你可踐踏在猛獅和毒身上。
You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.
14 上主說:因為他依戀我,我必拯救他,他承認我的名,我必保護他。
Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.
15 他若呼求我,我必應允,他若有困苦,我必與他同在,我必拯救他,光榮他。
When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.
16 我必要使他享壽,他必看到我的救援。
With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.
