< Psalms 91 >

1 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.
יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃
2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
אֹמַר לַיהֹוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃
3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃
4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃
5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
לֹֽא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃
6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צׇהֳרָֽיִם׃
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃
8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃
9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃
10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
לֹא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאׇהֳלֶֽךָ׃
11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמׇרְךָ בְּכׇל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃
12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃
13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃
14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃
15 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.
יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃
16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּישׁוּעָתִֽי׃
