Psalms 91

1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

I will say of Yhwh, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

Because thou hast made Yhwh, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
