Psalms 91
The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth
in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection
of the God of Jacob.
He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and
my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters:
and from the sharp word.
He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under
his wings thou shalt trust.
His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt
not be afraid of the terror of the night.
Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business
that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the
noonday devil.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand
at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see
the reward of the wicked.
Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the
most High thy refuge.
There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge
come near thy dwelling.
For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep
thee in all thy ways.
In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash
thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou
shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect
him because he hath known my name.
He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him
in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify
him.
I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew
him my salvation.
