א יֹשֵׁב, בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן; בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי, יִתְלוֹנָן.
|
1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;
|
|
ב אֹמַר--לַיהוָה, מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי; אֱלֹהַי, אֶבְטַח-בּוֹ.
|
2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,
|
|
ג כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ, מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ; מִדֶּבֶר הַוּוֹת.
|
3 That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
|
|
ד בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ, יָסֶךְ לָךְ--וְתַחַת-כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה; צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּוֹ.
|
4 He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.
|
|
ה לֹא-תִירָא, מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה; מֵחֵץ, יָעוּף יוֹמָם.
|
5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;
|
|
ו מִדֶּבֶר, בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ; מִקֶּטֶב, יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָיִם.
|
6 Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
|
|
ז יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ, אֶלֶף--וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ: אֵלֶיךָ, לֹא יִגָּשׁ.
|
7 A thousand may fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.
|
|
ח רַק, בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט; וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶה.
|
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.
|
|
ט כִּי-אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי; עֶלְיוֹן, שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶךָ.
|
9 For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.
|
|
י לֹא-תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה; וְנֶגַע, לֹא-יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶךָ.
|
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
|
|
יא כִּי מַלְאָכָיו, יְצַוֶּה-לָּךְ; לִשְׁמָרְךָ, בְּכָל-דְּרָכֶיךָ.
|
11 For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
|
|
יב עַל-כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ: פֶּן-תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶךָ.
|
12 They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
|
|
יג עַל-שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן, תִּדְרֹךְ; תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּין.
|
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.
|
|
יד כִּי בִי חָשַׁק, וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ; אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ, כִּי-יָדַע שְׁמִי.
|
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.
|
|
טו יִקְרָאֵנִי, וְאֶעֱנֵהוּ--עִמּוֹ-אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה; אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ, וַאֲכַבְּדֵהוּ.
|
15 He 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.
|
|
טז אֹרֶךְ יָמִים, אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ; וְאַרְאֵהוּ, בִּישׁוּעָתִי.
|
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and make him to behold My salvation.' {P}
