Anthem of the
PSALM 91
You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High
and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty,
say to the Lord: ‘My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.
He will deliver you from the snare of the hunter
from the plague that destroys.
He shall cover thee with his feathers
Under his wings thou shalt find refuge.
His faithfulness shall be thy shield and armour;
thou shalt not fear the terrors of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
the pestilence that wanders in darkness,
the extermination that ravages at noon.
A thousand shall fall at thy side
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but nothing shall smite thee.
Only that thou lookest, with thine eyes
Thou shalt see the chastisement of the wicked.
For thy refuge is the Lord
and thou hast made the Most High thy dwelling-place,
no misfortune shall befall thee,
No blow shall fall upon thy tent.
He will give command to his angels
To guard thee in all thy ways.
On their hands shall they carry thee
That thou shalt not stumble in stone.
Thou shalt walk upon asps and vipers,
thou shalt crush lions and dragons.
I will save him, for to me he has entrusted himself;
I will exalt him, because he has known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in misfortune,
I will save him and make him glorious.
I will satisfy him with long days
And I will show him my salvation.
