PSALM 91
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1He that doth in the secret place
of the most High reside,
Under the shade of him that is
th' Almighty shall abide.
2I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge still,
He is my fortress, and my God,
and in him trust I will.
3Assuredly he shall thee save,
and give deliverance
From subtile fowler's snare,
and from the noisome pestilence.
4His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust
under his wings shall be:
His faithfulness shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
5Thou shalt not need to be afraid
for terrors of the night;
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
by day, while it is light;
6Nor for the pestilence, that walks
in darkness secretly;
Nor for destruction, that doth waste
at noon-day openly.
7A thousand at thy side shall fall,
on thy right hand shall lie
Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee
it shall not once come nigh.
8Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,
and a beholder be;
And thou therein the just reward
of wicked men shalt see.
9Because the Lord, who constantly
my refuge is alone,
Ev'n the most High, is made by thee
thy habitation;
10No plague shall near thy dwelling come;
no ill shall thee befall:
11For thee to keep in all thy ways
his angels charge he shall.
12They in their hands shall bear thee up,
still waiting thee upon;
Lest thou at any time should'st dash
thy foot against a stone.
13Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
and on the lion strong;
Thy feet on dragons trample shall,
and on the lions young.
14Because on me he set his love,
I'll save and set him free;
Because my great name he hath known,
I will him set on high.
15He'll call on me, I'll answer him;
I will be with him still
In trouble, to deliver him,
and honour him I will.
16With length of days unto his mind
I will him satisfy;
I also my salvation
will cause his eyes to see.

Tehillim 91
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),#91:9 See Jn 14:2
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.
12They#91:12 the malachim of Hashem 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).
