< Psalms 91 >

1 Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.
יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃
2 He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
אֹמַר לַיהֹוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃
3 For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃
4 He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.
בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃
5 You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
לֹֽא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃
6 [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צׇהֳרָֽיִם׃
7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃
8 Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.
רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃
9 For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.
כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃
10 No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.
לֹא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאׇהֳלֶֽךָ׃
11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.
כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמׇרְךָ בְּכׇל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃
12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃
13 You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.
עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃
14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.
כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃
15 He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃
16 I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּישׁוּעָתִֽי׃
