Psalm 91 | English Standard Version

My Refuge and My Fortress

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say* to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge*—

10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.

15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Louis Segond 1910

1 Celui qui demeure sous l'abri du Très Haut Repose à l'ombre du Tout Puissant.

2 Je dis à l'Éternel: Mon refuge et ma forteresse, Mon Dieu en qui je me confie!

3 Car c'est lui qui te délivre du filet de l'oiseleur, De la peste et de ses ravages.

4 Il te couvrira de ses plumes, Et tu trouveras un refuge sous ses ailes; Sa fidélité est un bouclier et une cuirasse.

5 Tu ne craindras ni les terreurs de la nuit, Ni la flèche qui vole de jour,

6 Ni la peste qui marche dans les ténèbres, Ni la contagion qui frappe en plein midi.

7 Que mille tombent à ton côté, Et dix mille à ta droite, Tu ne seras pas atteint;

8 De tes yeux seulement tu regarderas, Et tu verras la rétribution des méchants.

9 Car tu es mon refuge, ô Éternel! Tu fais du Très Haut ta retraite.

10 Aucun malheur ne t'arrivera, Aucun fléau n'approchera de ta tente.

11 Car il ordonnera à ses anges De te garder dans toutes tes voies;

12 Ils te porteront sur les mains, De peur que ton pied ne heurte contre une pierre.

13 Tu marcheras sur le lion et sur l'aspic, Tu fouleras le lionceau et le dragon.

14 Puisqu'il m'aime, je le délivrerai; Je le protégerai, puisqu'il connaît mon nom.

15 Il m'invoquera, et je lui répondrai; Je serai avec lui dans la détresse, Je le délivrerai et je le glorifierai.

16 Je le rassasierai de longs jours, Et je lui ferai voir mon salut.
