| Chapter 91 |
1 | He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,
|
2 | He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'
|
3 | For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
|
4 | With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.
|
5 | Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
|
6 | Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,
|
7 | There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
|
8 | But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
|
9 | (For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.
|
10 | Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,
|
11 | For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,
|
12 | On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.
|
13 | On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.
|
14 | Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.
|
15 | He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.
|
16 | With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
