Psalms 91

World English Bible

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)

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

1Ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ σαββάτου.

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

2Ἀγαθὸν τὸ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ψάλλειν τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ὕψιστε·

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

3τοῦ ἀναγγέλλειν τοπρωῒ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου κατὰ νύκτα,

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

4ἐν δεκαχόρδῳ ψαλτηρίῳ, μετʼ ᾠδῆς ἐν κιθάρᾳ.

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

5Ὅτι εὔφρανάς με, Κύριε, ἐν τῷ ποιήματί σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι.

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

6Ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου, Κύριε; σφόδρα ἐβαθύνθησαν οἱ διαλογισμοί σου.

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

7Ἀνὴρ ἄφρων οὐ γνώσεται, καὶ ἀσύνετος οὐ συνήσει ταῦτα.

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

8Ἐν τῷ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ὡσεὶ χόρτον, καὶ διέκυψαν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ὅπως ἂν ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

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

9Σὺ δὲ ὕψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε.

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

10Ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἀπολοῦνται, καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν.

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

11Καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὡς μονοκέρωτος τὸ κέρας μου, καὶ τὸ γῆράς μου ἐν ἐλέῳ πίονι.

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

12Καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπανισταμένοις ἐπʼ ἐμὲ πονηρευομένοις ἀκούσεται τὸ οὖς μου.

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

13Δίκαιος ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνθήσει, ὡς ἡ κέδρος ἡ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ πληθυνθήσεται·

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.

14Πεφυτευμένοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξανθήσουσι.

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

15Τότε πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γήρει πίονι, καὶ εὐπαθοῦντες ἔσονται

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

16τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι· ὅτι εὐθὴς Κύριος ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ.
