Psalmi 91
1 Ti što prebivaš pod zaštitom Višnjega, što počivaš u sjeni Svemogućega,
Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.
2 reci Jahvi: “Zaklone moj! Utvrdo moja! Bože moj u koga se uzdam!”
He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
3 Jer on će te osloboditi od zamke ptičarske, od kuge pogubne.
For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
4 Svojim će te krilima zaštititi i pod njegova ćeš se krila skloniti: Vjernost je njegova štit i obrana!
He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.
5 Nećeš se bojati strašila noćnoga ni strelice što leti danju,
You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
6 ni kuge što se šulja kroz tmine, ni pošasti što hara o podne.
[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
7 Pa nek' padaju tisuće kraj tebe, deseci tisuća s desne tvoje, tebi se neće primaći!
A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
8 Tek što okom pogledaš, već ćeš vidjeti plaću grešnika.
Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.
9 Jer Jahve je zaklon tvoj, Višnjega odabra sebi za okrilje.
For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.
10 Neće te snaći nesreća, nevolja se neće prikučiti šatoru tvojemu.
No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.
11 Jer anđelima svojim zapovjedi da te čuvaju na svim putima tvojim.
For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 Na rukama će te nositi da se ne spotakneš o kamen.
They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
13 Nogom ćeš gaziti lava i ljuticu, zgazit ćeš lavića i zmiju.
You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.
14 Izbavit ću ga jer me ljubi, zakrilit ga jer poznaje ime moje.
For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.
15 Zazvat će me, a ja ću ga uslišiti, s njim ću biti u nevolji, spasit ću ga i proslaviti.
He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
16 Nasitit ću ga danima mnogim, pokazat' mu spasenje svoje.”
I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
