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.
Psalm 92
Bonum est confiteri
1
It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, *
and to sing praises to your Name, O Most High;
2
To tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning *
and of your faithfulness in the night season;
3
On the psaltery, and on the lyre, *
and to the melody of the harp.
4
For you have made me glad by your acts, O Lord; *
and I shout for joy because of the works of your hands.
5
Lord, how great are your works! *
your thoughts are very deep.
6
The dullard does not know,
nor does the fool understand, *
that though the wicked grow like weeds,
and all the workers of iniquity flourish,
7
They flourish only to be destroyed for ever; *
but you, O Lord, are exalted for evermore.
8
For lo, your enemies, O Lord,
lo, your enemies shall perish, *
and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
9
But my horn you have exalted like the horns of wild bulls; *
I am anointed with fresh oil.
10
My eyes also gloat over my enemies, *
and my ears rejoice to hear the doom of the wicked who rise up against me.
11
The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, *
and shall spread abroad like a cedar of Lebanon.
12
Those who are planted in the house of the Lord *
shall flourish in the courts of our God;
13
They shall still bear fruit in old age; *
they shall be green and succulent;
14
That they may show how upright the Lord is, *
my Rock, in whom there is no fault.
