Psalms

¹The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven. ↗

²He will say to the Lord, ”You are my supporter and my refuge.“ My God, I will hope in him. ↗

³For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word. ↗

⁴He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings. ↗

⁵His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night, ↗

⁶before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon. ↗

⁷A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you. ↗

⁸So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners. ↗

⁹For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge. ↗

¹⁰Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle. ↗

¹¹For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways. ↗

¹²With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone. ↗

¹³You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon. ↗

¹⁴Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name. ↗

¹⁵He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him. ↗

¹⁶I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation. ↗
