תהילים 91

1 יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃

He who sitteth under the secret protection of the Most High, shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 אֹמַר לַֽיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃

I will say of the Lord, who is my refuge and my stronghold, my God, in whom I ever trust,

3 כִּי הוּא יַצִּֽילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃

That he will surely deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the pestilence of destruction.

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

With his pinions will he cover thee, and under his wings shalt thou find shelter: shield and buckler is his truth.

5 לֹא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃

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

6 מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃

Nor of the pestilence that stalketh in darkness; nor of the deadly disease that wasteth at noonday.

7 יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃

There shall fall at thy side a thousand, and ten thousand at thy right hand; unto thee [however] shall it not come nigh.

8 רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃

Only with thy eyes shalt thou behold it, and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃

Because thou hast [said], The Lord is my protection, the Most High hast thou made thy refuge:

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

No evil shall befall thee, nor shall any plague come nigh unto thy tent.

11 כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃

For his angels will he give charge concerning thee, to guard thee on all thy ways.

12 עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃

Upon [their] hands shall they bear thee, that thou mayest not dash against a stone thy foot.

13 עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃

Upon the fierce lion and asp shalt thou tread: thou shalt trample under foot the young lion and serpent.

14 כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃

Because he hath fixed his desire upon me, therefore will I release him: I will set him on high, because he knoweth my name.

15 יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃

He will call on me, and I will answer him: with him will I be in distress; I will deliver him, and grant him honor.

16 אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃

With length of days will I satisfy him, and I will let him see my salvation.
