  Chant Text:

Qui habitat in adiutorio

Altissimi, in protectione

Dei caeli commorabitur.

Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es, et refugium meum,

Deus meus: sperabo in eum.

Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, et a verbo aspero.

Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi, et sub pennis eius sperabis.

Scuto circumdabit te veritas eius: non timebis a timore nocturno.

A sagitta volante per diem, a negotio perambulante in tenebris, a ruina et daemonio meridiano.

Cadent a latere tuo mille, et decem millia a dextris tuis: tibi autem non appropinquabit.

Quoniam Angelis suis mandavit de te, ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis.

In manibus portabunt te, ne unquam offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.

Super aspidem et basiliscum ambulabis, et conculcabis leonem et draconem.

Quoniam in me speravit, liberabo eum: protegam eum, quoniam cognovit nomen meum.

Invocabit me, et ego exaudiam eum: cum ipso sum in tribulatione.

Eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum: longitudine dierum adimplebo eum, et ostendam illi salutare meum.

1 You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shade of the Almighty,

2 Say to the LORD, “My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust.”

3 He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare, from the destroying plague,

4 He will shelter you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge; his faithfulness is a protecting shield.

5 You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.

7 Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand,

near you it shall not come.

8 You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see.

9 Because you have the LORD for your refuge and have made the Most High your stronghold,

10 No evil shall befall you,no affliction come near your tent.

11 For he commands his angels with regard to you, to guard you wherever you go.

12 With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You can tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.

14 Because he clings to me I will deliver him; because he knows my name I will set him on high.

15 He will call upon me and I will answer; I will be with him in distress; I will deliver him and give him honour.
