The Divine Shelter
| 1 [MT=91:1] Ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν βοηθείᾳ τοῦ ὑψίστου ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται. 2 [MT=91:2] ἐρεῖ τῷ κυρίῳ, ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ καὶ καταφυγή μου, ὁ θεός μου, ἐλπιῶ ἐπ' αὐτόν, 3 [MT=91:3] ὅτι αὐτὸς ῥύσεταί με ἐκ παγίδος θηρευτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ λόγου ταραχώδους. 4 [MT=91:4] ἐν τοῖς μεταφρένοις αὐτοῦ ἐπισκιάσει σοι, καὶ ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐλπιεῖς· ὅπλῳ κυκλώσει σὲ ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ. | 90.1 [MT=91:1] He who dwells in the help of the Most High shall lodge in the shelter of the God of heaven. 90.2 [MT=91:2] He will say to the Lord, "You are my supporter and my refuge, my God; I will hope in Him." 90.3 [MT=91:3] For He Himself shall rescue you from the snare of hunters and from a troubling word. 90.4 [MT=91:4] He will overshadow you with His back, and under His wings you shall hope; His truth shall encircle you like a shield. |
Protection from Terror
| 5 [MT=91:5] οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπὸ φόβου νυκτερινοῦ, ἀπὸ βέλους πετομένου ἡμέρας, 6 [MT=91:6] ἀπὸ πράγματος διαπορευομένου ἐν σκότει, ἀπὸ συμπτώματος καὶ δαιμονίου μεσημβρινοῦ. 7 [MT=91:7] πεσεῖται ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους σου χιλιὰς καὶ μυριὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, πρὸς σὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ· 8 [MT=91:8] πλὴν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κατανοήσεις καὶ ἀνταπόδοσιν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄψῃ. | 90.5 [MT=91:5] You shall not be afraid of nighttime fear, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 90.6 [MT=91:6] nor of the thing that walks about in darkness, nor of mishap and the midday demon. 90.7 [MT=91:7] A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 90.8 [MT=91:8] Rather, you shall observe with your eyes and see the recompense of sinners. |
The Ministry of Angels
| 9 [MT=91:9] Ὅτι σύ, κύριε, ἡ ἐλπίς μου· τὸν ὕψιστον ἔθου καταφυγήν σου. 10 [MT=91:10] οὐ προσελεύσεται πρὸς σὲ κακά, καὶ μάστιξ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ τῷ σκηνώματί σου, 11 [MT=91:11] ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σου τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σὲ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου· 12 [MT=91:12] ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσίν σε, μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου· 13 [MT=91:13] ἐπ' ἀσπίδα καὶ βασιλίσκον ἐπιβήσῃ καὶ καταπατήσεις λέοντα καὶ δράκοντα. | 90.9 [MT=91:9] For You, O Lord, are my hope; you have made the Most High your refuge. 90.10 [MT=91:10] Evils shall not come to you, and a scourge shall not draw near to your dwelling. 90.11 [MT=91:11] For He will command His angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. 90.12 [MT=91:12] On their hands they shall bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 90.13 [MT=91:13] You shall tread upon the asp and the basilisk, and you shall trample the lion and the dragon. |
The Divine Promise
| 14 [MT=91:14] Ὅτι ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἤλπισεν, καὶ ῥύσομαι αὐτόν· σκεπάσω αὐτόν, ὅτι ἔγνω τὸ ὄνομά μου. 15 [MT=91:15] ἐπικαλέσεταί με, καὶ εἰσακούσομαι αὐτοῦ, μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰμι ἐν θλίψει καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν. 16 [MT=91:16] μακρότητα ἡμερῶν ἐμπλήσω αὐτὸν καὶ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριον μου. | 90.14 [MT=91:14] "Because he hoped in Me, I will rescue him; I will protect him, because he has known My name. 90.15 [MT=91:15] He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I am with him in affliction, and I will deliver him and glorify him. 90.16 [MT=91:16] With length of days I will satisfy him and show him My salvation." |
