PSALM 91
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1He that doth in the secret place
of the most High reside,
Under the shade of him that is
th' Almighty shall abide.
2I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge still,
He is my fortress, and my God,
and in him trust I will.
3Assuredly he shall thee save,
and give deliverance
From subtile fowler's snare,
and from the noisome pestilence.
4His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust
under his wings shall be:
His faithfulness shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
5Thou shalt not need to be afraid
for terrors of the night;
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
by day, while it is light;
6Nor for the pestilence, that walks
in darkness secretly;
Nor for destruction, that doth waste
at noon-day openly.
7A thousand at thy side shall fall,
on thy right hand shall lie
Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee
it shall not once come nigh.
8Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,
and a beholder be;
And thou therein the just reward
of wicked men shalt see.
9Because the Lord, who constantly
my refuge is alone,
Ev'n the most High, is made by thee
thy habitation;
10No plague shall near thy dwelling come;
no ill shall thee befall:
11For thee to keep in all thy ways
his angels charge he shall.
12They in their hands shall bear thee up,
still waiting thee upon;
Lest thou at any time should'st dash
thy foot against a stone.
13Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
and on the lion strong;
Thy feet on dragons trample shall,
and on the lions young.
14Because on me he set his love,
I'll save and set him free;
Because my great name he hath known,
I will him set on high.
15He'll call on me, I'll answer him;
I will be with him still
In trouble, to deliver him,
and honour him I will.
16With length of days unto his mind
I will him satisfy;
I also my salvation
will cause his eyes to see.

Psalm 91
91
1 A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath.
2 It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:
3 to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,
4 upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.
5 For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.
6 How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.
7 A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:
8 when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.
9 But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.
10 For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
11 And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.
12 And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.
13 The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.
14 Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
15 They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,
16 so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
