The Book of Psalms
Psalm 90
Qui habitat.
The just is secure under the protection of God.
 1 |
The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob. |
2 |
He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust. |
3 |
For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word. |
4 |
He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust. |
5 |
His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night. |
6 |
Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil. |
7 |
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. |
8 |
But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked. |
9 |
Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge. |
10 |
There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling. |
11 |
For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways. |
12 |
In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. |
13 |
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon. |
14 |
Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name. |
15 |
He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him. |
16 |
I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation. |
