Psalms 91
1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
| ישב בסתר עליון בצל שדי יתלונן |
2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
| אמר--ליהוה מחסי ומצודתי אלהי אבטח-בו |
3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
| כי הוא יצילך מפח יקוש מדבר הוות |
4 He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
| באברתו יסך לך--ותחת-כנפיו תחסה צנה וסחרה אמתו |
5 You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,
| לא-תירא מפחד לילה מחץ יעוף יומם |
6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,
| מדבר באפל יהלך מקטב ישוד צהרים |
7 One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.
| יפל מצדך אלף--ורבבה מימינך אליך לא יגש |
8 But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,
| רק בעיניך תביט ושלמת רשעים תראה |
9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.
| כי-אתה יהוה מחסי עליון שמת מעונך |
10 Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,
| לא-תאנה אליך רעה ונגע לא-יקרב באהלך |
11 For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,
| כי מלאכיו יצוה-לך לשמרך בכל-דרכיך |
12 On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
| על-כפים ישאונך פן-תגף באבן רגלך |
13 You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.
| על-שחל ופתן תדרך תרמס כפיר ותנין |
14 Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
| כי בי חשק ואפלטהו אשגבהו כי-ידע שמי |
15 He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.
| יקראני ואענהו--עמו-אנכי בצרה אחלצהו ואכבדהו |
16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
| ארך ימים אשביעהו ואראהו בישועתי |
