< Psalmi 91 >

1 Ti što prebivaš pod zaštitom Višnjega, što počivaš u sjeni Svemogućega,
He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 reci Jahvi: “Zaklone moj! Utvrdo moja! Bože moj u koga se uzdam!”
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Jer on će te osloboditi od zamke ptičarske, od kuge pogubne.
Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 Svojim će te krilima zaštititi i pod njegova ćeš se krila skloniti: Vjernost je njegova štit i obrana!
He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 Nećeš se bojati strašila noćnoga ni strelice što leti danju,
You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6 ni kuge što se šulja kroz tmine, ni pošasti što hara o podne.
Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
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 behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Jer Jahve je zaklon tvoj, Višnjega odabra sebi za okrilje.
Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;
10 Neće te snaći nesreća, nevolja se neće prikučiti šatoru tvojemu.
There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 Jer anđelima svojim zapovjedi da te čuvaju na svim putima tvojim.
For he shall give his angels charge over 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 in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 Nogom ćeš gaziti lava i ljuticu, zgazit ćeš lavića i zmiju.
You shall tread on the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.
14 Izbavit ću ga jer me ljubi, zakrilit ga jer poznaje ime moje.
Because he has set his love on me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, 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 on me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 Nasitit ću ga danima mnogim, pokazat' mu spasenje svoje.”
With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
