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, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

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 Jehovah, '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 delivereth thee 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.

With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

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

Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

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

Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth 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.

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

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

But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

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

(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

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

Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

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

For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

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

On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

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

On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest 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 in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I set him on high, Because he hath 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 doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

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

With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
