¹ (90-1) <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 (90-2) He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.³ (90-3) For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.⁴ (90-4) He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.⁵ (90-5) His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.⁶ (90-6) 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 (90-7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.⁸ (90-8) But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

⁹ (90-9) Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.¹⁰ (90-10) There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.¹¹ (90-11) For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.¹² (90-12) In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.¹³ (90-13) Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.¹⁴ (90-14) Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.¹⁵ (90-15) 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 (90-16) I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
