< Psalms 91 >

1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
الْمُحْتَمِي بِقُدْسِ أَقْدَاسِ الْعَلِيِّ، فِي ظِلِّ الْقَدِيرِ يَبِيتُ،١
2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
أَقُولُ لِلرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَحِصْنِي، إِلَهِي الَّذِي بِهِ وَثِقْتُ٢
3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
لأَنَّهُ يُنْقِذُكَ حَقّاً مِنْ فَخِّ الصَّيَّادِ وَمِنَ الْوَبَاءِ الْمُهْلِكِ.٣
4 He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
بِرِيشِهِ النَّاعِمِ يُظَلِّلُكَ، وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِ تَحْتَمِي، فَتَكُونُ لَكَ وُعُودُهُ الأَمِينَةُ تُرْساً وَمِتْرَاساً،٤
5 You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,
فَلَا تَخَافُ مِنْ هَوْلِ اللَّيْلِ وَلَا مِنْ سَهْمٍ يَطِيرُ فِي النَّهَارِ.٥
6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,
وَلَا مِنْ وَبَاءٍ يَسْرِي فِي الظَّلامِ، وَلَا مِنْ هَلاكٍ يُفْسِدُ فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ.٦
7 One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.
يَتَسَاقَطُ عَنْ جَانِبِكَ أَلْفُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ عَشَرَةُ آلافٍ، وَأَنْتَ لَا يَمَسُّكَ سُوءٌ.٧
8 But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,
إِنَّمَا تُشَاهِدُ بِعَيْنَيْكَ مُعَاقَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ.٨
9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.
لأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: الرَّبُّ مَلْجَإِي، وَاتَّخَذْتَ الْعَلِيَّ مَلاذاً،٩
10 Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,
فَلَنْ يُصِيبَكَ شَرٌّ وَلَنْ تَقْتَرِبَ بَلِيَّةٌ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ١٠
11 For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,
فَإِنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوكَ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِكَ.١١
12 On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ قَدَمَكَ.١٢
13 You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.
تَطَأُ عَلَى الأَسَدِ وَالأَفْعَى، تَدُوسُ الشِّبْلَ وَالثُّعْبَانَ.١٣
14 Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
قَالَ الرَّبُّ: أُنَجِّيهِ لأَنَّهُ تَعَلَّقَ بِي. أُرَفِّعُهُ لأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ اسْمِي.١٤
15 He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.
يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ، أُرَافِقُهُ فِي الضِّيقِ، أُنْقِذُهُ وَأُكْرِمُهُ١٥
16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
أُطِيلُ عُمْرَهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.١٦
