Psalm 91:6-8
New English Translation

6 the plague that stalks in the darkness,
or the disease that ravages at noon.[a]
7 Though a thousand may fall beside you,
and a multitude on your right side,
it[b] will not reach you.
8 Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes—
you will see the wicked paid back.[c]

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 91:6 sn As in Deut 32:23-24, vv. 5-6 closely associate military attack and deadly disease. Perhaps the latter alludes to one of the effects of siege warfare on the population of an entrapped city, which was especially vulnerable to the outbreak of epidemics.
  2. Psalm 91:7 tn Apparently the deadly disease mentioned in v. 6b is the understood subject here.
  3. Psalm 91:8 tn Heb “retribution on the wicked.”
