Psalmi 91
1 Kdor prebiva na skrivnem kraju Najvišjega, bo ostal pod senco Vsemogočnega.
You whose home is the shelter of God Most High, whose abode is the shadow of God Almighty,
2 Rekel bom o Gospodu: » On je moje zatočišče in moja trdnjava; moj Bog, vanj bom zaupal.«
can say to the Lord, “My refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Zagotovo te bo osvobodil pred ptičarjevo zanko in pred ogabno kužno boleznijo.
For he saves you from fowler’s snare, from deadly plague,
4 Pokril te bo s svojim perjem in pod njegovimi perutmi boš zaupal. Njegova resnica bo tvoj ščit in oklep.
he shelters you with his pinions, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be a shield and buckler.
5 Ne boš se bal zaradi strahote ponoči niti zaradi puščice, ki leti podnevi,
You need not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 niti zaradi kužne bolezni, ki hodi v temi niti zaradi uničenja, ki pustoši opoldan.
nor the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the pestilence raging 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 at your side, ten thousand at your right hand: but it will not draw near to you.
8 Samo s svojimi očmi boš gledal in videl nagrado zlobnih.
You will only look on with your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
9 Ker si naredil Gospoda, ki je moje zatočišče, celó Najvišjega, [za] svoje prebivališče,
You have made the Lord your refuge, you have made the Most High your defence.
10 te nobeno zlo ne zadene niti nobena nadloga ne bo prišla blizu tvojega prebivališča.
You will never be met by misfortune, no plague will come near your tent,
11 Kajti svojim angelom bo zapovedal nad teboj, da te varujejo na vseh tvojih poteh.
for he orders his angels to guard you, wherever you go.
12 Nosili te bodo na svojih rokah, da ne bi svojega stopala treščil ob kamen.
They will carry you with their hands, so you don’t hurt your foot on a stone.
13 Stopal boš na leva in gada; mladega leva in zmaja boš pomendral pod stopali.
You will trample down lions and snakes, tread on young lions and cobras.
14 Ker je svojo ljubezen naravnal name, zato ga bom osvobodil. Postavil ga bom visoko, ker je spoznal moje ime.
“Because of their love for me, I will deliver them, I will protect those who trust my name.
15 Klical bo k meni in odgovoril mu bom. Z njim bom v stiski, osvobodil ga bom in mu izkazal čast.
I will answer their cry and be with them in trouble, bringing them forth into safety and honor.
16 Zadovoljil ga bom z dolgim življenjem in mu pokazal svojo rešitev duše.
I will give them a life of many days, I will show them my salvation.”
