1The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
1Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.
2He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
2Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.
3For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
3You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”
4He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
4For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.
5His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
5You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—
6Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
6in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
7For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
8But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
8You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
9For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.
10There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
10The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
11Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.
12In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.
13Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
13Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.
14Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
14Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
15Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
16I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
16May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.
