< Psalms 91 >

1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
اَلسَّاكِنُ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، فِي ظِلِّ ٱلْقَدِيرِ يَبِيتُ.١
2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
أَقُولُ لِلرَّبِّ: «مَلْجَإِي وَحِصْنِي. إِلَهِي فَأَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ».٢
3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
لِأَنَّهُ يُنَجِّيكَ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِ وَمِنَ ٱلْوَبَإِ ٱلْخَطِرِ.٣
4 He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
بِخَوَافِيهِ يُظَلِّلُكَ، وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِ تَحْتَمِي. تُرْسٌ وَمِجَنٌّ حَقُّهُ.٤
5 You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,
لَا تَخْشَى مِنْ خَوْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَلَا مِنْ سَهْمٍ يَطِيرُ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ،٥
6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,
وَلَا مِنْ وَبَإٍ يَسْلُكُ فِي ٱلدُّجَى، وَلَا مِنْ هَلَاكٍ يُفْسِدُ فِي ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ.٦
7 One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.
يَسْقُطُ عَنْ جَانِبِكَ أَلْفٌ، وَرِبْوَاتٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ. إِلَيْكَ لَا يَقْرُبُ.٧
8 But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,
إِنَّمَا بِعَيْنَيْكَ تَنْظُرُ وَتَرَى مُجَازَاةَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ.٨
9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.
لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: «أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ مَلْجَإِي». جَعَلْتَ ٱلْعَلِيَّ مَسْكَنَكَ،٩
10 Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,
لَا يُلَاقِيكَ شَرٌّ، وَلَا تَدْنُو ضَرْبَةٌ مِنْ خَيْمَتِكَ.١٠
11 For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,
لِأَنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلَائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوكَ فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِكَ.١١
12 On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
عَلَى ٱلْأَيْدِي يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلَّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ رِجْلَكَ.١٢
13 You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.
عَلَى ٱلْأَسَدِ وَٱلصِّلِّ تَطَأُ. ٱلشِّبْلَ وَٱلثُّعْبَانَ تَدُوسُ.١٣
14 Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
«لِأَنَّهُ تَعَلَّقَ بِي أُنَجِّيهِ. أُرَفِّعُهُ لِأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ ٱسْمِي.١٤
15 He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.
يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ، مَعَهُ أَنَا فِي ٱلضِّيقِ، أُنْقِذُهُ وَأُمَجِّدُهُ.١٥
16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
مِنْ طُولِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أُشْبِعُهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلَاصِي».١٦
