< Psalms 91 >
1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,
2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,
Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.
3 That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive 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.
With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;
Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.
There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.
Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.
9 For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.
Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;
11 For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;
12 They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.
On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.
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, on me, he hath set firm his love, Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high, Because he hath 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 shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.
