< Psalms 91 >

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of Shaddai.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His truth is an encompassing shield.
With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;
6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;
8 You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.
9 Because you have made the LORD, my refuge, the Most High, your dwelling place,
Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall overtake you; no plague shall come near your dwelling.
There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;
11 For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;
12 In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;
13 You will tread upon the lion and the viper. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.
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.
Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high, Because he hath known my Name;
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.
He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;
16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."
With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.
