1A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.
1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.
2I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:
3Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.
4Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.
4He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
5For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
5You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
7The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
7Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.
8When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:
8You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
9But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
9Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
10For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
11But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.
11For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
12My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.
12They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
13You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
14“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
15They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,
15When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
16That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
16With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
