תהילים 91

תנ"ך - מקרא על פי המסורה	NEW JERUSALEM
1 יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיֹון בְּצֵל דַּי יִתְלֹונָן	1 You who live in the secret place of Elyon, spend your nights in the shelter of Shaddai,
2 אֹמַר לַיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בֹּו	2 saying to Yahweh, 'My refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust!'
3 כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוֹּות	3 He rescues you from the snare of the fowler set on destruction;
4 בְּאֶבְרָתֹו ׀ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתֹּו	4 he covers you with his pinions, you find shelter under his wings. His constancy is shield andprotection.
5 לֹא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יֹומָם	5 You need not fear the terrors of night, the arrow that flies in the daytime,
6 מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָיִם	6 the plague that stalks in the darkness, the scourge that wreaks havoc at high noon.
7 יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ ׀ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּשׁ	7 Though a thousand fal at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, you yourself wil remainunscathed.
8 רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶה	8 You have only to keep your eyes open to see how the wicked are repaid,
9 כִּי־אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיֹון שַׂמְתָּ מְעֹונֶךָ	9 you who say, 'Yahweh my refuge!' and make Elyon your fortress.
10 לֹא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶךָ	10 No disaster can overtake you, no plague come near your tent;
11 כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶיךָ	11 he has given his angels orders about you to guard you wherever you go.
12 עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶךָ	12 They will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.
13 עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּין	13 You wil walk upon wild beast and adder, you wil trample young lions and snakes.
14 כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּי־יָדַע שְׁמִי	14 'Since he clings to me I rescue him, I raise him high, since he acknowledges my name.
15 יִקְרָאֵנִי ׀ וְאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמֹּו־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַאֲכַבְּדֵהוּ	15 He cal s to me and I answer him: in distress I am at his side, I rescue him and bring him honour.
16 אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּישׁוּעָתִי	16 I shal satisfy him with long life, and grant him to see my salvation.'
