Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1יֹ֭שֵׁב בְּסֵ֣תֶר עֶלְי֑וֹן בְּצֵ֥ל שַׁ֝דַּ֗י יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃
yoshev beseter elyon betzel shadday yitlonan
O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, And abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;
2אֹמַ֗ר לַֽ֭יהוָה מַחְסִ֣י וּמְצוּדָתִ֑י אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃
omar laADONAI machsi umetzudati elohay evtach-bo
I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust,
3כִּ֤י ה֣וּא יַ֭צִּֽילְךָ מִפַּ֥ח יָק֗וּשׁ מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃
ki hu yatzilkha mippach yakush middever havvot
That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence.
4בְּאֶבְרָת֨וֹ ׀ יָ֣סֶךְ לָ֭ךְ וְתַֽחַת־כְּנָפָ֣יו תֶּחְסֶ֑ה צִנָּ֖ה וְֽסֹחֵרָ֣ה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃
be'evrato yasekh lakh vetachat-kenafav techse tzinna vesochera amitto
He will cover thee with His pinions, And under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.
5לֹא־תִ֭ירָא מִפַּ֣חַד לָ֑יְלָה מֵ֝חֵ֗ץ יָע֥וּף יוֹמָֽם׃
lo-tira mippachad layla mechetz ya'uf yomam
Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flieth by day;
6מִ֭דֶּבֶר בָּאֹ֣פֶל יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֝קֶּ֗טֶב יָשׁ֥וּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃
middever ba'ofel yahalokh mikketev yashud tzahorayim
Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7יִפֹּ֤ל מִצִּדְּךָ֨ ׀ אֶ֗לֶף וּרְבָבָ֥ה מִימִינֶ֑ךָ אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִגָּֽשׁ׃
yippol mitziddekha elef urevava miminekha elekha lo yiggash
A thousand may fall at Thy side, And ten thousand at Thy right hand; It shall not come nigh thee.
8רַ֭ק בְּעֵינֶ֣יךָ תַבִּ֑יט וְשִׁלֻּמַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה׃
rak be'enekha tabbit veshillumat resha'im tir'e
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the recompense of the wicked.
9כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן שַׂ֣מְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃
ki-atta ADONAI machsi elyon samta me'onekha
For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, Even the Most High, thy habitation.
10לֹֽא־תְאֻנֶּ֣ה אֵלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה וְ֝נֶ֗גַע לֹא־יִקְרַ֥ב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃
lo-te'unne elekha ra'a venega' lo-yikrav be'aholekha
There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
11כִּ֣י מַ֭לְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּ֑ךְ לִ֝שְׁמָרְךָ֗ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃
ki mal'akhav yetzavve-lakh lishmarkha bekhal-derakhekha
For He will give His angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
12עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם יִשָּׂא֑וּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּ֖ף בָּאֶ֣בֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃
al-kappayim yissaunkha pen-tiggof ba'even raglekha
They shall bear thee upon their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13עַל־שַׁ֣חַל וָפֶ֣תֶן תִּדְרֹ֑ךְ תִּרְמֹ֖ס כְּפִ֣יר וְתַנִּֽין׃
al-shachal vafeten tidrokh tirmos kefir vetannin
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.
14כִּ֤י בִ֣י חָ֭שַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ אֲ֝שַׂגְּבֵ֗הוּ כִּֽי־יָדַ֥ע שְׁמִֽי׃
ki vi chashak va'afalletehu asaggevehu ki-yada' shemi
'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.
15יִקְרָאֵ֨נִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵ֗הוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִ֥י בְצָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלְּצֵ֗הוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃
yikra'eni ve'e'enehu immo-anokhi vetzara achalletzehu va'akhabbedehu
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.
16אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אַרְאֵ֗הוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃
orekh yamim asbi'ehu ve'ar'ehu bishu'ati
With long life will I satisfy him, And make Him to behold My salvation.'
