Psalms 91
The one who dwells in God's presence will be protected from harm and evil. God will be their refuge and shield, and they will not fear the terrors of the night or the troubles of the day. Angels will be given charge to preserve and protect them in all their ways, and they will be rescued from tribulation and filled with long life.
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 heavenHe will say to the Lord, "You are my supporter and my refuge." My God, I will hope in himFor he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh wordHe will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wingsHis truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the nightbefore the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demonA thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near youSo then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinnersFor you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refugeDisaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacleFor he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your waysWith their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stoneYou will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragonBecause he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my nameHe will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify himI will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation
