< Psalms 91 >

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
ישב בסתר עליון בצל שדי יתלונן׃
2 I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
אמר ליהוה מחסי ומצודתי אלהי אבטח בו׃
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
כי הוא יצילך מפח יקוש מדבר הוות׃
4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
באברתו יסך לך ותחת כנפיו תחסה צנה וסחרה אמתו׃
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
לא תירא מפחד לילה מחץ יעוף יומם׃
6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
מדבר באפל יהלך מקטב ישוד צהרים׃
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
יפל מצדך אלף ורבבה מימינך אליך לא יגש׃
8 You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
רק בעיניך תביט ושלמת רשעים תראה׃
9 Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
כי אתה יהוה מחסי עליון שמת מעונך׃
10 no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
לא תאנה אליך רעה ונגע לא יקרב באהלך׃
11 For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
כי מלאכיו יצוה לך לשמרך בכל דרכיך׃
12 They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
על כפים ישאונך פן תגף באבן רגלך׃
13 You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
על שחל ופתן תדרך תרמס כפיר ותנין׃
14 “Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
כי בי חשק ואפלטהו אשגבהו כי ידע שמי׃
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
יקראני ואענהו עמו אנכי בצרה אחלצהו ואכבדהו׃
16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
ארך ימים אשביעהו ואראהו בישועתי׃
