< Psalms 91 >

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of Shaddai.
ישב בסתר עליון בצל שדי יתלונן
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
אמר--ליהוה מחסי ומצודתי אלהי אבטח-בו
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
כי הוא יצילך מפח יקוש מדבר הוות
4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His truth is an encompassing shield.
באברתו יסך לך--ותחת-כנפיו תחסה צנה וסחרה אמתו
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
לא-תירא מפחד לילה מחץ יעוף יומם
6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
מדבר באפל יהלך מקטב ישוד צהרים
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
יפל מצדך אלף--ורבבה מימינך אליך לא יגש
8 You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
רק בעיניך תביט ושלמת רשעים תראה
9 Because you have made the LORD, my refuge, the Most High, your dwelling place,
כי-אתה יהוה מחסי עליון שמת מעונך
10 no evil shall overtake you; no plague shall come near your dwelling.
לא-תאנה אליך רעה ונגע לא-יקרב באהלך
11 For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
כי מלאכיו יצוה-לך לשמרך בכל-דרכיך
12 In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
על-כפים ישאונך פן-תגף באבן רגלך
13 You will tread upon the lion and the viper. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
על-שחל ופתן תדרך תרמס כפיר ותנין
14 "Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
כי בי חשק ואפלטהו אשגבהו כי-ידע שמי
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
יקראני ואענהו--עמו-אנכי בצרה אחלצהו ואכבדהו
16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."
ארך ימים אשביעהו ואראהו בישועתי
