He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
{Or, That abideth…Almighty; Even I &c.}Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in whom I trust.
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover thee with his pinions,
And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:
His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,
And ten thousand at thy right hand;
But it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,
And see the reward of the wicked.
{Or, Because thou hast said, Jehovah is my refuge}For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!
Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
For he will give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
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.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble:
I will deliver him, and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him,
And show him my salvation.
Querverweise zu Psalm 91,8 Ps 91,8
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way,And he will exalt thee to inherit the land:When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
So that men shall say, Verily there is {Hebrew: fruit.}a reward for the righteous:Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Mine eye also hath seen my desire on {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies,Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
Be not afraid of sudden fear,Neither of the {Or, storm}desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:
For Jehovah will be thy confidence,And will keep thy foot from being taken.
And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Jehovah {Or, is great}be magnified {Or, over}beyond the border of Israel.
