Psalms 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.

2 Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.

He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.

3 For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.

For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.

4 With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.

He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;

His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,

6 Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.

before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.

7 There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.

8 Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.

So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.

9 Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,

For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.

10 There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;

Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.

11 For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;

For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.

12 On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;

With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.

13 On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.

You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.

14 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;

Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.

15 He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.

16 With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.

I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
