Psalms 91

1 He who sitteth under the secret protection of the Most High, shall rest under 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 stronghold, my God, in whom I ever trust,

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

3 That he will surely deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the pestilence of destruction.

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

4 With his pinions will he cover thee, and under his wings shalt thou find shelter: shield and buckler is his truth.

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 of the night; nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

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

6 Nor of the pestilence that stalketh in darkness; nor of the deadly disease that wasteth at noonday.

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

7 There shall fall at thy side a thousand, and ten thousand at thy right hand; unto thee [however] shall it not come nigh.

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

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

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

9 Because thou hast [said], The Lord is my protection, the Most High hast thou made thy refuge:

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

10 No evil shall befall thee, nor shall any plague come nigh unto thy tent.

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

11 For his angels will he give charge concerning thee, to guard thee on all thy ways.

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

12 Upon [their] hands shall they bear thee, that thou mayest not dash against a stone thy foot.

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

13 Upon the fierce lion and asp shalt thou tread: thou shalt trample under foot the young lion and serpent.

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

14 Because he hath fixed his desire upon me, therefore will I release him: I will set him on high, because he knoweth 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 will call on me, and I will answer him: with him will I be in distress; I will deliver him, and grant him honor.

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

16 With length of days will I satisfy him, and I will let him see my salvation.

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