תהילים 91
| יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃ | 1 |
You whose home is the shelter of God Most High, whose abode is the shadow of God Almighty,
| אֹמַר לַיהֹוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
can say to the Lord, ‘My refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’
| כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃ | 3 |
For he saves you from fowler’s snare, from deadly plague,
| בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃ | 4 |
he shelters you with his pinions, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be a shield and buckler.
| לֹֽא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃ | 5 |
You need not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
| מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צׇהֳרָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
nor the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the pestilence raging at noon.
| יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃ | 7 |
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand: but it will not draw near to you.
| רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ | 8 |
You will only look on with your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃ | 9 |
You have made the Lord your refuge, you have made the Most High your defence.
| לֹא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאׇהֳלֶֽךָ׃ | 10 |
You will never be met by misfortune, no plague will come near your tent,
| כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמׇרְךָ בְּכׇל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃ | 11 |
for he orders his angels to guard you, wherever you go.
| עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃ | 12 |
They will carry you with their hands, so you don’t hurt your foot on a stone.
| עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃ | 13 |
You will trample down lions and snakes, tread on young lions and cobras.
| כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃ | 14 |
‘Because of their love for me, I will deliver them, I will protect those who trust my name.
| יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃ | 15 |
I will answer their cry and be with them in trouble, bringing them forth into safety and honour.
| אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּישׁוּעָתִֽי׃ | 16 |
I will give them a life of many days, I will show them my salvation.’
