Psalms 91

Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High

יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

אֹמַר לַֽיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח-בּֽוֹ׃

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

כִּי הוּא יַצִּֽילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַֽחַת-כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְֽסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

לֹא-תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽם׃

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ׃

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

רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

כִּֽי-אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

לֹֽא-תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא-יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה-לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל-דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃

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

עַל-כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן-תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

עַל-שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽין׃

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי-יָדַע שְׁמִֽי׃

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

יִקְרָאֵנִי׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ-אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
