The Key Word — יִפֹּ֤ל, yi.Polgenerated
The verb נָפַל (naphal) means 'to fall' and is used in various contexts, indicating not just physical falling, but also defeat or ruin. In this verse, it suggests the idea of defeat or death occurring to many, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
The parsing as a Qal imperfect indicates an ongoing or future action — it will happen that many will fall. This highlights the certainty of the event, setting up a stark contrast to the assurance of safety that follows.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, we consider the verse as rendered in the Berean Standard Bible, which closely aligns with the KJV and ASV in its wording.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The structure of this verse is built around two main clauses linked by the conjunction וּ (and), emphasizing the scale of danger: a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand. The finite verb יִפֹּ֤ל (will fall) governs the action, with the subjects אֶ֗לֶף and רְבָבָ֥ה clearly marking the multitude of those affected.
The concluding clause, starting with לֹ֣א (not), introduces the assurance of safety, contrasting the preceding imagery of calamity with the promise of divine protection.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יִפֹּ֤ל as πεσεῖται (will fall), maintaining the same sense of falling or defeat. This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning, emphasizing the seriousness of the threat.
For יִגָּֽשׁ, the LXX uses ἐγγιεῖ (will approach), which captures the essence of harm drawing near, reinforcing the protective promise of the verse.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Psalms 91:7 states, 'Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.' The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text, matching all eight words, although its word order and articles differ. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q84) also align closely with the Masoretic Text, but it contains some partially restored words and editorial additions, indicating that while the core message remains intact, the exact wording may vary slightly due to preservation issues.
יִפֹּ֤ל מִצִּדְּךָ֨׀ אֶ֗לֶף וּרְבָבָ֥ה מִימִינֶ֑ךָ אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִגָּֽשׁ׃
8 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
