Psalmi 91

1 Kdor prebiva na skrivnem kraju Najvišjega, bo ostal pod senco Vsemogočnega.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 Rekel bom o Gospodu: » On je moje zatočišče in moja trdnjava; moj Bog, vanj bom zaupal.«

I say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress; my God, I will confide in him.

3 Zagotovo te bo osvobodil pred ptičarjevo zanko in pred ogabno kužno boleznijo.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the destructive pestilence.

4 Pokril te bo s svojim perjem in pod njegovimi perutmi boš zaupal. Njegova resnica bo tvoj ščit in oklep.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou find refuge: his truth is a shield and buckler.

5 Ne boš se bal zaradi strahote ponoči niti zaradi puščice, ki leti podnevi,

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day,

6 niti zaradi kužne bolezni, ki hodi v temi niti zaradi uničenja, ki pustoši opoldan.

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 Tisoč jih bo padlo na tvoji strani in deset tisoč na tvoji desnici, toda tebi se to ne bo približalo.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Samo s svojimi očmi boš gledal in videl nagrado zlobnih.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Ker si naredil Gospoda, ki je moje zatočišče, celó Najvišjega, [za] svoje prebivališče,

Because thou hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place,

10 te nobeno zlo ne zadene niti nobena nadloga ne bo prišla blizu tvojega prebivališča.

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 Kajti svojim angelom bo zapovedal nad teboj, da te varujejo na vseh tvojih poteh.

For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways:

12 Nosili te bodo na svojih rokah, da ne bi svojega stopala treščil ob kamen.

They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Stopal boš na leva in gada; mladega leva in zmaja boš pomendral pod stopali.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

14 Ker je svojo ljubezen naravnal name, zato ga bom osvobodil. Postavil ga bom visoko, ker je spoznal moje ime.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 Klical bo k meni in odgovoril mu bom. Z njim bom v stiski, osvobodil ga bom in mu izkazal čast.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.

16 Zadovoljil ga bom z dolgim življenjem in mu pokazal svojo rešitev duše.

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