Psalmi 91

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

The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

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

He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

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

For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

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

He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

5 Nećeš se bojati strašila noćnoga ni strelice što leti danju,

His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

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

Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

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

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

8 Tek što okom pogledaš, već ćeš vidjeti plaću grešnika.

But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

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

Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

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

There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

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

For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

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

In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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

Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

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

Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

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

He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

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

I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
