Psalms 91
1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
Ti što prebivaš pod zaštitom Višnjega, što počivaš u sjeni Svemogućega,
2 He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter 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 has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
Jer on će te osloboditi od zamke ptičarske, od kuge pogubne.
4 He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
Svojim će te krilima zaštititi i pod njegova ćeš se krila skloniti: Vjernost je njegova štit i obrana!
5 His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
Nećeš se bojati strašila noćnoga ni strelice što leti danju,
6 before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
ni kuge što se šulja kroz tmine, ni pošasti što hara o podne.
7 A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
Pa nek' padaju tisuće kraj tebe, deseci tisuća s desne tvoje, tebi se neće primaći!
8 So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
Tek što okom pogledaš, već ćeš vidjeti plaću grešnika.
9 For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
Jer Jahve je zaklon tvoj, Višnjega odabra sebi za okrilje.
10 Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
Neće te snaći nesreća, nevolja se neće prikučiti šatoru tvojemu.
11 For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
Jer anđelima svojim zapovjedi da te čuvaju na svim putima tvojim.
12 With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
Na rukama će te nositi da se ne spotakneš o kamen.
13 You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
Nogom ćeš gaziti lava i ljuticu, zgazit ćeš lavića i zmiju.
14 Because he has hoped in me, I will free 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 will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
Zazvat će me, a ja ću ga uslišiti, s njim ću biti u nevolji, spasit ću ga i proslaviti.
16 I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
Nasitit ću ga danima mnogim, pokazat' mu spasenje svoje.”
