Psalms 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Kdor prebiva na skrivnem kraju Najvišjega, bo ostal pod senco Vsemogočnega.

2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Rekel bom o Gospodu: » On je moje zatočišče in moja trdnjava; moj Bog, vanj bom zaupal.«

3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.

Zagotovo te bo osvobodil pred ptičarjevo zanko in pred ogabno kužno boleznijo.

4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

Pokril te bo s svojim perjem in pod njegovimi perutmi boš zaupal. Njegova resnica bo tvoj ščit in oklep.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

Ne boš se bal zaradi strahote ponoči niti zaradi puščice, ki leti podnevi,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

niti zaradi kužne bolezni, ki hodi v temi niti zaradi uničenja, ki pustoši opoldan.

7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.

Tisoč jih bo padlo na tvoji strani in deset tisoč na tvoji desnici, toda tebi se to ne bo približalo.

8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.

Samo s svojimi očmi boš gledal in videl nagrado zlobnih.

9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—

Ker si naredil Gospoda, ki je moje zatočišče, celó Najvišjega, [za] svoje prebivališče,

10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.

te nobeno zlo ne zadene niti nobena nadloga ne bo prišla blizu tvojega prebivališča.

11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

Kajti svojim angelom bo zapovedal nad teboj, da te varujejo na vseh tvojih poteh.

12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Nosili te bodo na svojih rokah, da ne bi svojega stopala treščil ob kamen.

13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.

Stopal boš na leva in gada; mladega leva in zmaja boš pomendral pod stopali.

14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.

Ker je svojo ljubezen naravnal name, zato ga bom osvobodil. Postavil ga bom visoko, ker je spoznal moje ime.

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.

Klical bo k meni in odgovoril mu bom. Z njim bom v stiski, osvobodil ga bom in mu izkazal čast.

16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”

Zadovoljil ga bom z dolgim življenjem in mu pokazal svojo rešitev duše.
