Psalmorum 91
1 Laus Cantici David. Qui habitat in adiutorio Altissimi, in protectione Dei cæli commorabitur.
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.
2 Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es tu, et refugium meum: Deus meus sperabo in eum.
He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
3 Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, et a verbo aspero.
For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
4 Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi: et sub pennis eius sperabis:
He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.
5 Scuto circumdabit te veritas eius: non timebis a timore nocturno,
Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
6 A sagitta volante in die, a negotio perambulante in tenebris: ab incursu, et dæmonio meridiano.
[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
7 Cadent a latere tuo mille, et decem millia a dextris tuis: ad te autem non appropinquabit.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis: et retributionem peccatorum videbis.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.
9 Quoniam tu es Domine spes mea: Altissimum posuisti refugium tuum.
For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.
10 Non accedet ad te malum: et flagellum non appropinquabit tabernaculo tuo.
No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.
11 Quoniam angelis suis mandavit de te: ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis.
For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 In manibus portabunt te: ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Super aspidem, et basiliscum ambulabis: et conculcabis leonem et draconem.
Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.
14 Quoniam in me speravit, liberabo eum: protegam eum, quoniam cognovit nomen meum.
For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.
15 Clamabit ad me, et ego exaudiam eum: cum ipso sum in tribulatione: eripiam eum et glorificabo eum.
He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
16 Longitudine dierum replebo eum: et ostendam illi salutare meum.
I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.
