< תהילים 91 >

ישב בסתר עליון בצל שדי יתלונן׃ 1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
אמר ליהוה מחסי ומצודתי אלהי אבטח בו׃ 2
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
כי הוא יצילך מפח יקוש מדבר הוות׃ 3
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
באברתו יסך לך ותחת כנפיו תחסה צנה וסחרה אמתו׃ 4
He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
לא תירא מפחד לילה מחץ יעוף יומם׃ 5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
מדבר באפל יהלך מקטב ישוד צהרים׃ 6
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
יפל מצדך אלף ורבבה מימינך אליך לא יגש׃ 7
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
רק בעיניך תביט ושלמת רשעים תראה׃ 8
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
כי אתה יהוה מחסי עליון שמת מעונך׃ 9
Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
לא תאנה אליך רעה ונגע לא יקרב באהלך׃ 10
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
כי מלאכיו יצוה לך לשמרך בכל דרכיך׃ 11
For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
על כפים ישאונך פן תגף באבן רגלך׃ 12
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
על שחל ופתן תדרך תרמס כפיר ותנין׃ 13
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
כי בי חשק ואפלטהו אשגבהו כי ידע שמי׃ 14
“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
יקראני ואענהו עמו אנכי בצרה אחלצהו ואכבדהו׃ 15
He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honour him.
ארך ימים אשביעהו ואראהו בישועתי׃ 16
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
