Psalmi 91

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

He who sitteth under the shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode in the shadow of the Almighty.

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

I say to the LORD, Thou art my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

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

Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the wasting pestilence;

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

He will cover thee with his feathers, And under his wings shalt thou find refuge; His faithfulness shall be thy shield and buckler.

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

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

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

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the plague that destroyeth 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 by thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But thee it shall not touch.

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

Thou shalt only behold with thine eyes, And see the recompense of the wicked.

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

Because thou hast made the LORD thy refuge, And the Most High thy habitation,

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

No evil shall befall thee, Nor any plague come near thy dwelling.

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

For he will give his angels charge over thee, To guard 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 loveth me, I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knoweth my name.

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

When he calleth upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honor.

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

With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.”
