1Wer im Schutz[1] des Höchsten wohnt, bleibt im Schatten des Allmächtigen. (Jes 25,4)2Ich sage[2] zum HERRN: Meine Zuflucht und meine Burg, mein Gott, ich vertraue auf ihn! (Ps 18,3; Ps 25,2; Ps 31,15; Ps 61,5; Ps 142,6)3Denn er rettet dich von der Schlinge des Vogelstellers, von der verderblichen Pest. (Ps 68,21; Ps 124,7)4Mit seinen Schwingen deckt er dich, und du birgst dich unter seinen Flügeln. Schild und Schutzwehr ist seine Treue[3]. (Ps 17,8; Ps 35,2)5Du fürchtest dich nicht vor dem Schrecken der Nacht, vor dem Pfeil, der am Tag fliegt, (Spr 3,24)6vor der Pest, die im Finstern umgeht, vor der Seuche, die am Mittag verwüstet.7Tausend fallen an deiner Seite, zehntausend an deiner Rechten – dich erreicht es nicht. (Jer 39,18)8Nur schaust du es mit deinen Augen, und du siehst die Vergeltung an den Gottlosen. (Ps 37,34)9Denn du ⟨hast gesagt⟩: »Der HERR ist meine Zuflucht!«; du hast den Höchsten zu deiner Wohnung gesetzt;10so begegnet dir kein Unglück, und keine Plage naht deinem Zelt. (5Mo 7,15)11Denn er bietet seine Engel für dich auf, dich zu bewahren auf allen deinen Wegen. (Hebr 1,14)12Auf den Händen tragen sie dich, damit du deinen Fuß nicht an einen Stein stößt. (Spr 3,23; Mt 4,6)13Auf Löwen und Vipern trittst du, Junglöwen und Schlangen trittst du nieder. (Lk 10,19)14»Weil er an mir hängt, will ich ihn retten. Ich will ihn schützen[4], weil er meinen Namen kennt. (Ps 9,11)15Er ruft mich an, und ich antworte ihm. Ich bin bei ihm in der Not. Ich befreie ihn und bringe ihn zu Ehren. (Ps 50,15; Jes 43,2; Jer 33,3)16Ich sättige ihn mit langem Leben[5] und lasse ihn meine Rettung schauen.« (Ps 50,23; Spr 10,27)
1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. (Ps 32,7; Ps 121,5; Jes 25,4; Jes 32,2)2I will say[1] to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Ps 11,1; Ps 14,6; Ps 18,2; Ps 91,9)3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. (Ps 124,7; Ps 140,5; Ps 141,9; Spr 6,5)4He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. (1Kön 8,7; Ps 17,8; Ps 35,2; Ps 36,5; Ps 57,1)5You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, (Hi 5,19; Spr 3,23; Hl 3,8; Jes 43,1)6nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.8You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. (Ps 37,34)9Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge[2]— (Ps 71,3; Ps 91,2)10no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. (Ps 38,11; Ps 91,5; Spr 12,21)11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. (2Mo 23,20; Ps 34,7; Mt 4,6; Lk 4,10)12On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. (Ps 37,24; Spr 3,23)13You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. (Ps 74,13; Dan 6,23; Mk 16,18; Lk 10,19; Apg 28,5)14“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. (5Mo 7,7; 5Mo 10,15; Ps 9,10)15When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. (1Sam 2,30; Hi 12,4; Ps 50,15; Joh 12,26)16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” (5Mo 6,2; 1Kön 3,14; Ps 21,4; Ps 50,23; Ps 118,14; Ps 118,21; Spr 3,2; Spr 3,16)
Psalm 91
New International Version
von Biblica1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[1]2I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’3Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.5You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.8You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.9If you say, ‘The Lord is my refuge,’ and you make the Most High your dwelling,10no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;12they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.14‘Because he[2] loves me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.’
Psalm 91
New International Reader’s Version
von Biblica1Whoever 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 disease.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 disease 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 honour him.16I will give him a long and full life. I will save him.’
Psalm 91
King James Version
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
