{90:1} The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
{90:2} He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.
{90:3} For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
{90:4} He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
{90:5} His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
{90:6} before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
{90:7} A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
{90:8} So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
{90:9} For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
{90:10} Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
{90:11} For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
{90:12} With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
{90:13} You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
{90:14} Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.
{90:15} He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
{90:16} I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
