Psalmorum 91
1 Laus Cantici David. Qui habitat in adiutorio Altissimi, in protectione Dei caeli commorabitur.
O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;
2 Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es tu, et refugium meum: Deus meus sperabo in eum.
I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,
3 Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, et a verbo aspero.
That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi: et sub pennis eius sperabis:
He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.
5 Scuto circumdabit te veritas eius: non timebis a timore nocturno,
Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;
6 A sagitta volante in die, a negotio perambulante in tenebris: ab incursu, et daemonio meridiano.
Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 Cadent a latere tuo mille, et decem millia a dextris tuis: ad te autem non appropinquabit.
A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis: et retributionem peccatorum videbis.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Quoniam tu es Domine spes mea: Altissimum posuisti refugium tuum.
For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.
10 Non accedet ad te malum: et flagellum non appropinquabit tabernaculo tuo.
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
11 Quoniam angelis suis mandavit de te: ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis.
For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 In manibus portabunt te: ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Super aspidem, et basiliscum ambulabis: et conculcabis leonem et draconem.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Quoniam in me speravit, liberabo eum: protegam eum, quoniam cognovit nomen meum.
'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath 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 answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.
16 Longitudine dierum replebo eum: et ostendam illi salutare meum.
With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
