Psalm 91
1Whoever rests in the shadow of the Most High God
will be kept safe by the Mighty One.
2I will say about the Lord,
“He is my place of safety.
He is like a fort to me.
He is my God. I trust in him.”
3He will certainly save you from hidden traps
and from deadly sickness.
4He will cover you with his wings.
Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety.
He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower.
5You won’t have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night.
You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.
6You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness.
You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.
7A thousand may fall dead at your side.
Ten thousand may fall near your right hand.
But no harm will come to you.
8You will see with your own eyes
how God punishes sinful people.
9Suppose you say, “The Lord is the one who keeps me safe.”
Suppose you let the Most High God be like a home to you.
10Then no harm will come to you.
No terrible plague will come near your tent.
11The Lord will command his angels
to take good care of you.
12They will lift you up in their hands.
Then you won’t trip over a stone.
13You will walk on lions and cobras.
You will crush mighty lions and poisonous snakes.
14The Lord says, “I will save the one who loves me.
I will keep him safe, because he trusts in me.
15He will call out to me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in times of trouble.
I will save him and honor him.
16I will give him a long and full life.
I will save him.”
Salmo 91
1El que habita al abrigo del Altísimo
se acoge a la sombra del Todopoderoso.
2Yo le digo al Señor: «Tú eres mi refugio,
mi fortaleza, el Dios en quien confío».
3Solo él puede librarte de las trampas del cazador
y de mortíferas plagas,
4pues te cubrirá con sus plumas
y bajo sus alas hallarás refugio.
¡Su verdad será tu escudo y tu baluarte!
5No temerás el terror de la noche,
ni la flecha que vuela de día,
6ni la peste que acecha en las sombras
ni la plaga que destruye a mediodía.
7Podrán caer mil a tu izquierda,
y diez mil a tu derecha,
pero a ti no te afectará.
8No tendrás más que abrir bien los ojos,
para ver a los impíos recibir su merecido.
9Ya que has puesto al Señor por tu91:9 tu. Lit. mi. refugio,
al Altísimo por tu protección,
10ningún mal habrá de sobrevenirte,
ninguna calamidad llegará a tu hogar.
11Porque él ordenará que sus ángeles
te cuiden en todos tus caminos.
12Con sus propias manos te levantarán
para que no tropieces con piedra alguna.
13Aplastarás al león y a la víbora;
¡hollarás fieras y serpientes!
14«Yo lo libraré, porque él se acoge a mí;
lo protegeré, porque reconoce mi nombre.
15Él me invocará, y yo le responderé;
estaré con él en momentos de angustia;
lo libraré y lo llenaré de honores.
16Lo colmaré con muchos años de vida
y le haré gozar de mi salvación».
