Psalm 91 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the most High *

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2

I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my strong hold *

my God, in him will I trust.

3

For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter *

and from the noisome pestilence.

4

He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe under his feathers *

his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5

Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night *

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness *

nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.

7

A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand *

but it shall not come nigh thee.

8

Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold *

and see the reward of the ungodly.

9

For thou, Lord, art my hope *

thou hast set thine house of defence very high.

10

There shall no evil happen unto thee *

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11

For he shall give his angels charge over thee *

to keep thee in all thy ways.

12

They shall bear thee in their hands *

that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.

13

Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder *

the young lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.

14

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him *

I will set him up, because he hath known my Name.

15

He shall call upon me, and I will hear him *

yea, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.

16

With long life will I satisfy him *

and shew him my salvation.
