1 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 who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word. For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil. nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge. Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling. no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon. You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name. “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 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. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
