< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 91 >

اَلسَّاكِنُ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، فِي ظِلِّ ٱلْقَدِيرِ يَبِيتُ. ١ 1
You whose home is the shelter of God Most High, whose abode is the shadow of God Almighty,
أَقُولُ لِلرَّبِّ: «مَلْجَإِي وَحِصْنِي. إِلَهِي فَأَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ». ٢ 2
can say to the Lord, ‘My refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’
لِأَنَّهُ يُنَجِّيكَ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِ وَمِنَ ٱلْوَبَإِ ٱلْخَطِرِ. ٣ 3
For he saves you from fowler’s snare, from deadly plague,
بِخَوَافِيهِ يُظَلِّلُكَ، وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِ تَحْتَمِي. تُرْسٌ وَمِجَنٌّ حَقُّهُ. ٤ 4
he shelters you with his pinions, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be a shield and buckler.
لَا تَخْشَى مِنْ خَوْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَلَا مِنْ سَهْمٍ يَطِيرُ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ، ٥ 5
You need not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
وَلَا مِنْ وَبَإٍ يَسْلُكُ فِي ٱلدُّجَى، وَلَا مِنْ هَلَاكٍ يُفْسِدُ فِي ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ. ٦ 6
nor the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the pestilence raging at noon.
يَسْقُطُ عَنْ جَانِبِكَ أَلْفٌ، وَرِبْوَاتٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ. إِلَيْكَ لَا يَقْرُبُ. ٧ 7
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand: but it will not draw near to you.
إِنَّمَا بِعَيْنَيْكَ تَنْظُرُ وَتَرَى مُجَازَاةَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. ٨ 8
You will only look on with your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: «أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ مَلْجَإِي». جَعَلْتَ ٱلْعَلِيَّ مَسْكَنَكَ، ٩ 9
You have made the Lord your refuge, you have made the Most High your defence.
لَا يُلَاقِيكَ شَرٌّ، وَلَا تَدْنُو ضَرْبَةٌ مِنْ خَيْمَتِكَ. ١٠ 10
You will never be met by misfortune, no plague will come near your tent,
لِأَنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلَائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوكَ فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِكَ. ١١ 11
for he orders his angels to guard you, wherever you go.
عَلَى ٱلْأَيْدِي يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلَّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ رِجْلَكَ. ١٢ 12
They will carry you with their hands, so you don’t hurt your foot on a stone.
عَلَى ٱلْأَسَدِ وَٱلصِّلِّ تَطَأُ. ٱلشِّبْلَ وَٱلثُّعْبَانَ تَدُوسُ. ١٣ 13
You will trample down lions and snakes, tread on young lions and cobras.
«لِأَنَّهُ تَعَلَّقَ بِي أُنَجِّيهِ. أُرَفِّعُهُ لِأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ ٱسْمِي. ١٤ 14
‘Because of their love for me, I will deliver them, I will protect those who trust my name.
يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ، مَعَهُ أَنَا فِي ٱلضِّيقِ، أُنْقِذُهُ وَأُمَجِّدُهُ. ١٥ 15
I will answer their cry and be with them in trouble, bringing them forth into safety and honour.
مِنْ طُولِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أُشْبِعُهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلَاصِي». ١٦ 16
I will give them a life of many days, I will show them my salvation.’
