< תהילים 91 >
יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃ | 1 |
He who dwells in the secret place of haElyon [the Most High] will rest in the shadow of Shaddai [Almighty].
אֹמַר לַֽיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
I will say of Adonai, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
כִּי הוּא יַצִּֽילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃ | 3 |
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַֽחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְֽסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃ | 4 |
He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
לֹא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃ | 5 |
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃ | 7 |
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ | 8 |
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃ | 9 |
Because you have made Adonai your refuge, and haElyon [the Most High] your dwelling place,
לֹֽא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃ | 10 |
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃ | 11 |
For he will enjoin his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.
עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃ | 12 |
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃ | 13 |
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃ | 14 |
“Because he has set his chasak ·to set one’s affection, to make bands· on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃ | 15 |
He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃ | 16 |
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my yishu'ah ·salvation·.”
