Psalm 91, Chant B

 

Psalm 91   Qui habitat

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, *
abides under the shadow of the Al-migh-ty.

2 He shall say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my strong-hold,*
my God in whom I put my trust.”

3 He shall deliver you from the snare of the hun-ter *
and from the dead-ly pes-tilence.

4 He shall cover you with his pinions, and you shall find refuge under his wings; *
his faithfulness shall be a shield and buck-ler.

5 You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *
nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 Of the plague that stalks in the dark-ness, *
nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.

7 A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, *
but it shall not come near you.

8 Your eyes have only to be-hold *
to see the reward of the wic-ked.

9 Because you have made the LORD your re-fuge, *
and the Most High your ha-bi-ta-tion,

10 There shall no evil happen to you, *
neither shall any plague come near your dwel-ling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge ov–er you, *
to keep you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you in their hands, *
lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and the ad-der; *
you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.

14 Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I de-li–ver him; *
I will protect him, because he knows my Name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will an–swer him; *
I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him to ho-nor.

16 With long life will I satis–fy him, *
and show him my sal-va-tion.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
