Psalmii 91

1. Cel ce sta sub ocrotirea Celui Preainalt si se odihneste la umbra Celui atotputernic,
2. zice despre Domnul: "El este locul meu de scapare si cetatuia mea, Dumnezeul meu in care ma incred!"
3. Da, El te scapa de latul vanatorului, de ciuma si de pustiirile ei.
4. El te va acoperi cu penele Lui si te vei ascunde sub aripile Lui. Caci scut si pavaza este credinciosia Lui!
5. Nu trebuie sa te temi nici de groaza din timpul noptii, nici de sageata care zboara ziua,
6. nici de ciuma care umbla in intuneric, nici de molima care bantuie ziua in amiaza mare.
7. O mie sa cada alaturi de tine, si zece mii la dreapta ta, dar de tine nu se va apropia.
8. Doar vei privi cu ochii si vei vedea rasplatirea celor rai.
9. Pentru ca zici: "Domnul este locul meu de adapost!" si faci din Cel Preainalt turnul tau de scapare,
10. de aceea nicio nenorocire nu te va ajunge, nicio urgie nu se va apropia de cortul tau.
11. Caci El va porunci ingerilor Sai sa te pazeasca in toate caile tale;
12. si ei te vor duce pe maini, ca nu cumva sa-ti lovesti piciorul de vreo piatra.
13. Vei pasi peste lei si peste naparci si vei calca peste pui de lei si peste serpi. -
14. "Fiindca Ma iubeste - zice Domnul - de aceea il voi izbavi; il voi ocroti, caci cunoaste Numele Meu.
15. Cand Ma va chema, ii voi raspunde; voi fi cu el in stramtorare, il voi izbavi si-l voi proslavi.
16. Il voi satura cu viata lunga si-i voi arata mantuirea Mea."

Psalm 91

¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.^[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

³ Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
¹⁰ no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ “Because he^[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”
