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.
