Psalms 91

World English Bible

JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)

1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

1O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

2I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

2I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

3That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

4He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,

5Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

6Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

7A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

8You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

9Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

9For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

11For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

12They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

14'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.

15He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

16With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
