1 H e who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

السّاكِنُ تَحتَ سِترِ العَلِيِّ، تُظَلِّلُهُ حِمايَةُ القَدِيرِ.

2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”

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

3 F or it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly pestilence.

مِنَ الفَخِّ سَيُنقِذُكَ. سَيُنقِذُكَ مِنَ المُصِيبَةِ وَالأوْبِئَةِ.

4 H e will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

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

5 Y ou will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;

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

6 O f the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

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

7 A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you.

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

8 Y ou will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked.

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

9 F or you have made the Lord, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place.

لأنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ اللهَ مَلجَأكَ، وَالعَلِيَّ مَسكَنَكَ الآمِنَ.

10 N o evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent.

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

11 F or He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.

لأنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَي يَحرُسُوكَ حَيثُما تَذهَبُ!

12 T hey will bear you up in their hands, That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

سَيَحْمِلونَكَ عَلَى أيادِيْهِمْ، لِئَلّا تَرتَطِمَ قَدَمُكَ بِحَجَرٍ.

13 Y ou will tread upon the lion and cobra, The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.

عَلَى الأسَدِ وَالأفعَى تَدُوسُ، وَتَطَأُ الشِبلَ وَالتَّنِّينَ!

14 “ Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.

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

15 “ He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

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

16 “ With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation.”

أعطِيهِ عُمراً طَوِيلاً، وَأُرِيهِ خَلاصِي.»
