תהילים 91

1 יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃

The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.

2 אֹמַר לַֽיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃

He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.

3 כִּי הוּא יַצִּֽילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃

For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.

4 בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַֽחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְֽסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃

He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.

5 לֹא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃

His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,

6 מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃

before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.

7 יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃

A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.

8 רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃

So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.

9 כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃

For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.

10 לֹֽא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃

Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.

11 כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃

For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.

12 עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃

With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.

13 עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃

You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.

14 כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃

Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.

15 יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃

He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.

16 אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃

I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
