Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord.

91 He who [a]dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”

For He will save you from the trap of the fowler,
And from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions,
And under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.


You will not be afraid of the terror of night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But danger will not come near you.

You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes
And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High].

Because you have made the Lord, [who is] my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,(A)
10 
No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.

11 
For He will command His angels in regard to you,
To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
12 
They will lift you up in their hands,
So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.(B)
13 
You will tread upon the lion and cobra;
The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.(C)

14 
“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him;
I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].
15 
“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 
“With a long life I will satisfy him
And I will let him see My salvation.”

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 91:1 The wonderful promises of this chapter are dependent upon one’s meeting the conditions stated in these first two verses (see Ex 15:26).

Morando bajo la sombra del Omnipotente

91 El que habita al abrigo del Altísimo

Morará bajo la sombra del Omnipotente.

Diré yo a Jehová: Esperanza mía, y castillo mío;

Mi Dios, en quien confiaré.

Él te librará del lazo del cazador,

De la peste destructora.

Con sus plumas te cubrirá,

Y debajo de sus alas estarás seguro;

Escudo y adarga es su verdad.

No temerás el terror nocturno,

Ni saeta que vuele de día,

Ni pestilencia que ande en oscuridad,

Ni mortandad que en medio del día destruya.

Caerán a tu lado mil,

Y diez mil a tu diestra;

Mas a ti no llegará.

Ciertamente con tus ojos mirarás

Y verás la recompensa de los impíos.

Porque has puesto a Jehová, que es mi esperanza,

Al Altísimo por tu habitación,

10 No te sobrevendrá mal,

Ni plaga tocará tu morada.

11 Pues a sus ángeles mandará acerca de ti,(A)

Que te guarden en todos tus caminos.

12 En las manos te llevarán,

Para que tu pie no tropiece en piedra.(B)

13 Sobre el león y el áspid pisarás;

Hollarás al cachorro del león y al dragón.(C)

14 Por cuanto en mí ha puesto su amor, yo también lo libraré;

Le pondré en alto, por cuanto ha conocido mi nombre.

15 Me invocará, y yo le responderé;

Con él estaré yo en la angustia;

Lo libraré y le glorificaré.

16 Lo saciaré de larga vida,

Y le mostraré mi salvación.
