Tehillim 91

1He that dwelleth in the seter Elyon (covering, hiding place of the Most High)

shall abide under the tzel Shaddai (shadow of the Almighty).

2I will say of Hashem, He is my refuge and my fortress;

Elohai (my G-d); in Him will I trust.

3Surely He shall save thee from the pach yakosh ([deadly] snare of the fowler),

and from the devastating dever (plague).

4He shall cover thee with His evrah (pinion, flight feathers),

and under His kenafayim (wings) shalt thou find defense;

His Emes shall be thy shield and buckler.

5Thou shalt not be afraid of the pachad (terror) by lailah;

nor of the khetz (arrow) that flieth yomam (by day);

6Nor for the dever (plague) that walketh in darkness;

nor for the ketev (pestilence, destruction) that destroyeth at tzohorayim (noon).

7An elef (thousand) may fall at thy side,

and ten thousand at thy yamin (right hand);

but it shall not come near thee.

8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

and see the shillumah (recompense, retribution) of the resha'im.

9Because thou hast made Hashem, which is my refuge,

even Elyon, thy ma'on (habitation, dwelling),1

10There shall no ra'ah (evil, disaster) befall thee,

neither shall any nega come near thy ohel.

11For He shall give charge to His malachim (angels) concerning thee,

to be shomer over thee in kol drakhim of thee.

12They2 shall bear thee up on their palms,

lest thou dash thy regel against an even (stone).

13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder;

the young lion and the tannin (serpent) shalt thou trample under foot.

14Because he hath set his longing upon Me, therefore will I rescue him;

I will set him on high, because he hath da'as of Shmi (My Name).

15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in tzoros;

I will deliver him, and honor him.

16With orech yamim (length of days, long life) will I satisfy him,

and show him My Yeshu'ah (salvation).
