< Psalms 91 >

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
אֹמַר לַֽיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
כִּי הוּא יַצִּֽילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃
4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַֽחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְֽסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
לֹא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃
6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃
8 You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃
9 Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃
10 no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
לֹֽא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃
11 For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃
12 They will bear you up in their hands, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃
13 You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃
14 “Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃
16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃
