1 ¶ He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

السّاكِنُ تَحتَ سِترِ العَلِيِّ، تُظَلِّلُهُ حِمايَةُ القَدِيرِ.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my hope and my fortress: my God; in him will I secure myself.

أقُولُ للهِ الَّذِي أتَّكِلُ عَلَيهِ: «أنتَ إلَهِي وَمَلْجَأِي وَحِصنِي!»

3 S urely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler and from the mortal pestilence.

مِنَ الفَخِّ سَيُنقِذُكَ. سَيُنقِذُكَ مِنَ المُصِيبَةِ وَالأوْبِئَةِ.

4 H e shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings thou shalt be secure: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

سَيَفرِدُ جَناحَيهِ فَوقَكَ، وَيَدَعُكَ تَحتَمِي تَحتَ جَناحَيهِ. وَسَيَكُونُ إخلاصُهُ سِياجاً حامِياً حَولَكَ!

5 T hou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

لَنْ تَخشَى مِنْ رُعبِ اللَّيلِ، وَلا مِنْ سِهامِ العَدُوِّ الطّائِرَةِ فِي النَّهارِ!

6 n or for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

لَنْ تَخشَى مِنْ مَرَضٍ يَنتَشِرُ فِي الخَفاءِ. وَلا مِنْ وَباءٍ يَضرِبُ عِندَ الظُّهرِ.

7 T housands shall fall at thy side and ten thousands at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.

ألفٌ مِنْ جُنُودِ الأعادِي سَيَسقُطُونَ حَولَكَ. وَعَشْرَةُ آلافٍ سَيَسقُطُونَ بِسَيفِكَ، لَنْ يُؤذِيَكَ أيٌّ مِنهُمْ!

8 S urely with thine eyes thou shalt behold and see the reward of the wicked.

أجَلْ، بِأُمِّ عَينَيكَ سَتَرَى كُلَّ هَذا! سَتَرَى الأشرارَ يَنالُونَ ما يَستَحِقُّونَ!

9 ¶ Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my hope, even the most High, thy habitation,

لأنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ اللهَ مَلجَأكَ، وَالعَلِيَّ مَسكَنَكَ الآمِنَ.

10 n o evil shall befall thee, neither shall any plague come near thy dwelling.

لِهَذا ما مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ سَتُصِيبُكَ. وَما مِنْ وَباءٍ سَيَدخُلُ مَسكَنَكَ.

11 F or he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways.

لأنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَي يَحرُسُوكَ حَيثُما تَذهَبُ!

12 T hey shall bear thee up in their hands lest thy foot stumble against a stone.

سَيَحْمِلونَكَ عَلَى أيادِيْهِمْ، لِئَلّا تَرتَطِمَ قَدَمُكَ بِحَجَرٍ.

13 T hou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

عَلَى الأسَدِ وَالأفعَى تَدُوسُ، وَتَطَأُ الشِبلَ وَالتَّنِّينَ!

14 B ecause he has set his will upon me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high because he has known my name.

فَكَما يَقُولُ اللهُ: «يُحِبُّنِي، لِهَذا سَأُنقِذُهُ! سَأرفَعُهُ لأنَّهُ يَعتَرِفُ باسمِي.

15 H e shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and glorify him.

يَستَنجِدُ بِي فَأسْتَجِيبُ. فِي وَقتِ الضِّيقِ أكُونُ مَعَهُ. أُنقِذُهُ وَأُكَرِّمُهُ.

16 W ith long life I will satisfy him and show him my saving health.

أعطِيهِ عُمراً طَوِيلاً، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.»
