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