יֹ֭שֵׁב בְּסֵ֣תֶר עֶלְיֹ֑ון בְּצֵ֥ל שַׁ֝דַּ֗י יִתְלֹונָֽן׃ 1
He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
אֹמַ֗ר לַֽ֭יהוָה מַחְסִ֣י וּמְצוּדָתִ֑י אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אֶבְטַח־בֹּֽו׃ 2
He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
כִּ֤י ה֣וּא יַ֭צִּֽילְךָ מִפַּ֥ח יָק֗וּשׁ מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוֹּֽות׃ 3
For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
בְּאֶבְרָתֹ֨ו ׀ יָ֣סֶךְ לָ֭ךְ וְתַֽחַת־כְּנָפָ֣יו תֶּחְסֶ֑ה צִנָּ֖ה וְֽסֹחֵרָ֣ה אֲמִתֹּֽו׃ 4
He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
לֹא־תִ֭ירָא מִפַּ֣חַד לָ֑יְלָה מֵ֝חֵ֗ץ יָע֥וּף יֹומָֽם׃ 5
You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,
מִ֭דֶּבֶר בָּאֹ֣פֶל יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֝קֶּ֗טֶב יָשׁ֥וּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃ 6
Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,
יִפֹּ֤ל מִצִּדְּךָ֨ ׀ אֶ֗לֶף וּרְבָבָ֥ה מִימִינֶ֑ךָ אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִגָּֽשׁ׃ 7
One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.
רַ֭ק בְּעֵינֶ֣יךָ תַבִּ֑יט וְשִׁלֻּמַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ 8
But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י עֶ֝לְיֹ֗ון שַׂ֣מְתָּ מְעֹונֶֽךָ׃ 9
(For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.
לֹֽא־תְאֻנֶּ֣ה אֵלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה וְ֝נֶ֗גַע לֹא־יִקְרַ֥ב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃ 10
Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,
כִּ֣י מַ֭לְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּ֑ךְ לִ֝שְׁמָרְךָ֗ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃ 11
For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,
עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם יִשָּׂא֑וּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּ֖ף בָּאֶ֣בֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃ 12
On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
עַל־שַׁ֣חַל וָפֶ֣תֶן תִּדְרֹ֑ךְ תִּרְמֹ֖ס כְּפִ֣יר וְתַנִּֽין׃ 13
You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.
כִּ֤י בִ֣י חָ֭שַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ אֲ֝שַׂגְּבֵ֗הוּ כִּֽי־יָדַ֥ע שְׁמִֽי׃ 14
Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
יִקְרָאֵ֨נִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵ֗הוּ עִמֹּֽו־אָנֹכִ֥י בְצָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלְּצֵ֗הוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃ 15
He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.
אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אַרְאֵ֗הוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃ 16
I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
