The one who dwells in God's protection will be safe from harm, and God will be their refuge and shield. They will not fear the dangers of the night or day, and God's angels will guard them in all their ways. Those who trust in God will be rescued and protected, and God will be with them in times of trouble. God will ultimately glorify and save those who know and call upon Him.
1 The 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 2 He will say to the Lord, "You are my supporter and my refuge." My God, I will hope in him 3 For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word 4 He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings 5 His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night 6 before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon 7 A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you 8 So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners 9 For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge 10 Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle 11 For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways 12 With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone 13 You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon 14 Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name 15 He 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 16 I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation
