1 The state of the godly. 3 Their safety. 9 Their habitation. 11 Their servants. 14 Their friend, with the effects of them all.

91:1 ¶ 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.

91:2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

91:3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

91:4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

91:5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

91:6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

91:8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

91:9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

91:10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

91:11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

91:12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

91:13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

91:14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

91:15 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.

91:16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
