Psalms 91

1 The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

居住在至高者護佑下的人，在全能者蔭庇下居住的人，

2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

請向上主說：我的避難所，我的碉堡，我的天主，我向您投靠。

3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

祂必救您脫離獵人戶的縲絏，祂必救你脫免害人的瘟疫。

4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

祂以自己的羽毛掩護你，叫你住祂的翼下逃避：祂的忠信是盾牌和鎧衣。

5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

你不必怕黑夜驚人的顫慄，也不必怕白天亂飛的箭矢，

6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

黑暗中行的瘟疫，正午毒害人的癘疾。

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

在你身旁雖倒斃一千，在你右邊雖跌仆一萬，疫疾卻不到你身邊。

8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

然而你親眼要觀臨，要見到惡人的報應。

9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

你既知道上主是你的避難所，你就該以至高者為你的碉堡；

10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

災殃不會走近你的身邊，禍患也不臨近你的帳幔。

11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

上主必為你委派祂的天使，在你行走的每條路上保護您。

12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

他們把你托在自己的手掌，不使你的腳在石頭上碰傷。

13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

你可經過獅子和毒蛇身上，你可踐踏在猛獅和毒身上。

14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

上主說：因為他依戀我，我必拯救他，他承認我的名，我必保護他。

15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

他若呼求我，我必應允，他若有困苦，我必與他同在，我必拯救他，光榮他。

16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

我必要使他享壽，他必看到我的救援。
