Psalms 91
1A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath.
2It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:
3to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,
4upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.
5For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.
6How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.
7A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:
8when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.
9But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.
10For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
11And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.
12And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.
13The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.
14Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
15They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,
16so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
