the 91st psalm (recitation)

he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. i will say of the lord

he is my refuge and my fortress: my god; in him will i trust. surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler

and from the noisome pestilence. he shall cover thee with his feathers

and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. a thousand shall fall at thy side

and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. because thou hast made the lord

which is my refuge

even the most high

thy habitation;

there shall no evil befall thee

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. for he shall give his angels charge over thee

to keep thee in all thy ways. they shall bear thee up in their hands

lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. because he hath set his love upon me

therefore will i deliver him: i will set him on high

because he hath known my name. he shall call upon me

and i will answer him: i will be with him in trouble; i will deliver him

and honour him. with long life will i satisfy him

and shew him my salvation.
