1(91) Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.
1Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
3Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.
4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.
9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.
11Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.
13Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.
14O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
