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.
Ti što prebivaš pod zaštitom Višnjega, što počivaš u sjeni Svemogućega,
2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
reci Jahvi: “Zaklone moj! Utvrdo moja! Bože moj u koga se uzdam!”
3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
Jer on će te osloboditi od zamke ptičarske, od kuge pogubne.
4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
Svojim će te krilima zaštititi i pod njegova ćeš se krila skloniti: Vjernost je njegova štit i obrana!
5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
Nećeš se bojati strašila noćnoga ni strelice što leti danju,
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.
ni kuge što se šulja kroz tmine, ni pošasti što hara o podne.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
Pa nek' padaju tisuće kraj tebe, deseci tisuća s desne tvoje, tebi se neće primaći!
8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
Tek što okom pogledaš, već ćeš vidjeti plaću grešnika.
9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
Jer Jahve je zaklon tvoj, Višnjega odabra sebi za okrilje.
10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
Neće te snaći nesreća, nevolja se neće prikučiti šatoru tvojemu.
11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
Jer anđelima svojim zapovjedi da te čuvaju na svim putima tvojim.
12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Na rukama će te nositi da se ne spotakneš o kamen.
13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
Nogom ćeš gaziti lava i ljuticu, zgazit ćeš lavića i zmiju.
14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
Izbavit ću ga jer me ljubi, zakrilit ga jer poznaje ime moje.
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.
Zazvat će me, a ja ću ga uslišiti, s njim ću biti u nevolji, spasit ću ga i proslaviti.
16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
Nasitit ću ga danima mnogim, pokazat' mu spasenje svoje.”
