< Psalms 91 >
1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
Orang yang berlindung pada Yang Mahatinggi, dan tinggal dalam naungan Yang Mahakuasa,
2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
boleh berkata kepada TUHAN, "Engkaulah pembela dan pelindungku, Allahku, pada-Mulah aku percaya."
3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
Ia akan melepaskan engkau dari bahaya tersembunyi, dan dari penyakit yang membawa maut.
4 He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
Ia akan menudungi engkau dengan sayap-Nya, sehingga engkau aman dalam naungan-Nya; kesetiaan-Nya seperti perisai yang melindungi engkau.
5 You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,
Engkau tak usah takut akan bahaya di waktu malam, atau serangan mendadak di waktu siang;
6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,
akan bencana yang datang di waktu gelap, atau kehancuran yang menimpa di tengah hari.
7 One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.
Biar seribu orang tewas di sisimu, dan sepuluh ribu di sebelah kananmu, tetapi engkau sendiri tak akan cedera.
8 But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,
Bila engkau memandang di sekelilingmu, engkau melihat orang jahat kena pembalasan.
9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.
Sebab engkau menjadikan TUHAN pembelamu, Yang Mahatinggi kaujadikan pelindungmu.
10 Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,
Maka engkau tak akan kena bencana, rumahmu tak akan kena ditimpa malapetaka.
11 For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,
Allah menyuruh malaikat-Nya menjagai engkau, untuk melindungi engkau ke mana saja engkau pergi.
12 On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
Mereka akan mengangkat engkau di telapak tangannya, supaya kakimu jangan tersandung pada batu.
13 You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.
Engkau akan melangkahi ular dan singa, menginjak singa muda dan ular berbisa.
14 Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
Kata TUHAN, "Orang yang mencintai Aku akan Kuselamatkan, yang mengakui Aku akan Kulindungi.
15 He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.
Kalau ia berseru kepada-Ku, Aku akan menjawabnya. Di waktu kesesakan, Aku akan menolong dia; dia akan Kuluputkan dan Kuberi kehormatan.
16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
Dia akan Kupuaskan dengan umur panjang, dan Kuselamatkan."
