1Praise 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, Thou art 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 thee 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 thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee 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.
5Thou shalt 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 thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy 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 thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy 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 thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
11Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt 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 hearken 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 shew him my salvation.
16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
