| 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! -
