< Ψαλμοί 91 >
1 αἶνος ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυιδ ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν βοηθείᾳ τοῦ ὑψίστου ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται
He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 ἐρεῖ τῷ κυρίῳ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ καὶ καταφυγή μου ὁ θεός μου ἐλπιῶ ἐπ’ αὐτόν
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 ὅτι αὐτὸς ῥύσεταί με ἐκ παγίδος θηρευτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ λόγου ταραχώδους
Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the dangerous pestilence.
4 ἐν τοῖς μεταφρένοις αὐτοῦ ἐπισκιάσει σοι καὶ ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐλπιεῖς ὅπλῳ κυκλώσει σε ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ
He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπὸ φόβου νυκτερινοῦ ἀπὸ βέλους πετομένου ἡμέρας
You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6 ἀπὸ πράγματος διαπορευομένου ἐν σκότει ἀπὸ συμπτώματος καὶ δαιμονίου μεσημβρινοῦ
Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 πεσεῖται ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους σου χιλιὰς καὶ μυριὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου πρὸς σὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ
A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come nigh you.
8 πλὴν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κατανοήσεις καὶ ἀνταπόδοσιν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄψῃ
Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 ὅτι σύ κύριε ἡ ἐλπίς μου τὸν ὕψιστον ἔθου καταφυγήν σου
Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;
10 οὐ προσελεύσεται πρὸς σὲ κακά καὶ μάστιξ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ τῷ σκηνώματί σου
There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.
11 ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου
For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσίν σε μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου
They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 ἐπ’ ἀσπίδα καὶ βασιλίσκον ἐπιβήσῃ καὶ καταπατήσεις λέοντα καὶ δράκοντα
You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.
14 ὅτι ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἤλπισεν καὶ ῥύσομαι αὐτόν σκεπάσω αὐτόν ὅτι ἔγνω τὸ ὄνομά μου
Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 ἐπικαλέσεταί με καὶ εἰσακούσομαι αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰμι ἐν θλίψει καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν
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 μακρότητα ἡμερῶν ἐμπλήσω αὐτὸν καὶ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου
With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
