Psalmi 91

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

Those who live under the protection of the Most High are kept safe by the Almighty.

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

This is what I say about the Lord: “He is the one who defends and protects me. He is my God, and I trust in him.”

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

For he will save you from hidden traps and deadly diseases.

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

He will hide you under his feathers, and shelter you with his wings. His trustworthiness shields and protects you.

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

You will not be afraid of terror at night or an arrow that flies in the day,

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

or disease that attacks at night, or catastrophe that falls at noon.

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

A thousand may fall beside you, ten thousand die at your right hand, but you won't be harmed.

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

You only have to open your eyes and you will see how the wicked are repaid.

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

Because you have made the Lord your protection, and the Most High your home,

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

nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near where you live.

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

For he will command his angels to take care of you in everything you do.

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

They will hold you up with their hands so you won't trip and fall down.

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

You will trample lions and snakes; you will tread young lions and serpents underfoot.

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

I will save anyone who loves me; I will protect anyone who accepts me.

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

When they call out to me for help, I will answer; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will save and honor them.

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

I will grant them long lives, and show them my salvation.
