Psalms 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
Lowo ohlala ekusithekeni koPhezukonke uzaphumula emthunzini kaSomandla.
2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Ngizakuthi kuThixo, “Uyisiphephelo sami lenqaba yami, uNkulunkulu wami, engithemba kuye.”
3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.
Ngempela uzakuphephisa emjibileni womthiyi lasesifeni esibi esibulalayo.
4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
Uzakusibekela ngezinsiba zakhe, uzuze isiphephelo ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe; ukuthembeka kwakhe kuzakuba yisihlangu sakho lenqaba yakho.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
Awuyikwesaba umnyama wobusuku, loba umtshoko ontweza emini,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
kumbe ingozi ehahabela emnyameni, kumbe umkhuhlane obhubhisayo emini enkulu.
7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.
Abazinkulungwane bangawa eceleni lakho; itshumi lezinkulungwane esandleni sakho sokunene, kodwa kakusoze kusondele kuwe.
8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
Uzaphosa nje amehlo akho ubukele ubone ukujeziswa kwababi.
9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
Ungenza oPhezukonke abe likhaya lakho yena uThixo oyisiphephelo sami
10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
lapho-ke akulangozi engakuwela, akulamonakalo ozasondela ethenteni lakho.
11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
Ngoba uzayala izingilosi zakhe ngawe zikulinde kuzozonke izindlela zakho;
12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
zizakuphakamisa ezandleni zazo, ukuze ungakhubeki elitsheni.
13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
Uzanyathela isilwane lephimpi; uzasigxoba isilwane esikhulu lenyoka.
14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
“Ngoba uyangithanda,” kutsho uThixo, “ngizamkhulula; ngizamvikela, ngoba uyalinaka ibizo lami.
15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
Uzangibiza, ngimphendule; ngizakuba laye ekuhluphekeni, ngizamkhulula ngimenzele udumo.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
Ngizamsuthisa ngempilo ende ngimtshengise insindiso yami.”
