Psalms 91:1-13 ▼

1 <V 90:1>The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.

2 <V 90:2>He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.

3 <V 90:3>For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.

4 <V 90:4>He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.

5 <V 90:5>His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,

6 <V 90:6>before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.

7 <V 90:7>A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.

8 <V 90:8>So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.

9 <V 90:9>For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.

10 <V 90:10>Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.

11 <V 90:11>For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.

12 <V 90:12>With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.

13 <V 90:13>You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
