< Psalms 91 >
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
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 cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
8 Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,
Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;
For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
12 On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
13 On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
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 set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, 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 call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation [yeshuah-ti].”
