1st Day Evening - Psalm 91

Psalm 91   Qui habitat

 

1            He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, *

        abides under the shadow of the Almighty.

 

2            He shall say to the Lord,

“You are my refuge and my stronghold, *

        my God in whom I put my trust.”

 

3            He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter *

        and from the deadly pestilence.

 

4            He shall cover you with his pinions,

and you shall find refuge under his wings; *

        his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.

 

5            You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *

        nor of the arrow that flies by day;

 

6            Of the plague that stalks in the darkness, *

        nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid‑day.

 

7            A thousand shall fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand, *

        but it shall not come near you.

8            Your eyes have only to behold *

        to see the reward of the wicked.

 

9            Because you have made the Lord your refuge, *

        and the Most High your habitation,

 

10            There shall no evil happen to you, *

        neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

 

11            For he shall give his angels charge over you, *

        to keep you in all your ways.

 

12            They shall bear you in their hands, *

        lest you dash your foot against a stone.

 

13            You shall tread upon the lion and adder; *

        you shall trample the young lion and the serpent

under your feet.

 

14            Because he is bound to me in love,

therefore will I deliver him; *

        I will protect him, because he knows my Name.

 

15            He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; *

        I am with him in trouble;

        I will rescue him and bring him to honor.

 

16            With long life will I satisfy him, *

        and show him my salvation.
