Psalms 91

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,

2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”

3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

4 He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.

5 Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,

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

Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.

One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.

8 Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,

9 For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

(For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.

10 There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,

Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,

11 for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.

You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.

14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.

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

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

He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.

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

I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
