Psalms 91

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,	1 A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath.
2 Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust."	2 It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:
3 God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague,	3 to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,
4 Will shelter you with pinions, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield.	4 upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.
5 You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day,	5 For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.
6 Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.	6 How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come.	7 A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:
8 You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see.	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 You have the LORD for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold.	9 But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.
10 No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.	10 For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
11 For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.	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 With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.	12 And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.
13 You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.	13 The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.
14 Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high.	14 Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
15 All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor.	15 They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,
16 With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power.	16 so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
