Psalms 91

1 Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

Ti što prebivaš pod zaštitom Višnjega, što počivaš u sjeni Svemogućega,

2 He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

reci Jahvi: “Zaklone moj! Utvrdo moja! Bože moj u koga se uzdam!”

3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

Jer on će te osloboditi od zamke ptičarske, od kuge pogubne.

4 He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

Svojim će te krilima zaštititi i pod njegova ćeš se krila skloniti: Vjernost je njegova štit i obrana!

5 Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

Nećeš se bojati strašila noćnoga ni strelice što leti danju,

6 [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

ni kuge što se šulja kroz tmine, ni pošasti što hara o podne.

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

Pa nek' padaju tisuće kraj tebe, deseci tisuća s desne tvoje, tebi se neće primaći!

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.

Tek što okom pogledaš, već ćeš vidjeti plaću grešnika.

9 For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.

Jer Jahve je zaklon tvoj, Višnjega odabra sebi za okrilje.

10 No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.

Neće te snaći nesreća, nevolja se neće prikučiti šatoru tvojemu.

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

Jer anđelima svojim zapovjedi da te čuvaju na svim putima tvojim.

12 They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Na rukama će te nositi da se ne spotakneš o kamen.

13 Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.

Nogom ćeš gaziti lava i ljuticu, zgazit ćeš lavića i zmiju.

14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

Izbavit ću ga jer me ljubi, zakrilit ga jer poznaje ime moje.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

Zazvat će me, a ja ću ga uslišiti, s njim ću biti u nevolji, spasit ću ga i proslaviti.

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

Nasitit ću ga danima mnogim, pokazat' mu spasenje svoje.”
