Psalms 91

1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,

2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”

3 That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

4 He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.

He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,

6 Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,

7 A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,

9 For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

(For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,

11 For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,

12 They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.

14 'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'

I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
