Psalms 91:7-10

91:7 Though a thousand may fall beside you,

and a multitude on your right side,

it ¹  will not reach you.

91:8 Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes –

you will see the wicked paid back. ² 

91:9 For you have taken refuge in the Lord,

my shelter, the sovereign One. ³ 

91:10 No harm will overtake ⁴  you;

no illness ⁵  will come near your home. ⁶ 

[91:7]  ¹ tn Apparently the deadly disease mentioned in v. 6b is the understood subject here.

[91:8]  ² tn Heb “retribution on the wicked.”

[91:9]  ³ tn Heb “for you, the Lord, my shelter, the Most High, you have made your dwelling place.”

[91:10]  ⁴ tn Or “confront.”

[91:10]  ⁵ tn For this sense of the Hebrew term נגע see Ps 38:11.

[91:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “your tent.”
