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.
2. He will say to the Lord, "You are my supporter and my refuge." My God, I will hope in him.
3. For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
4. He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
5. His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
6. before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
7. A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
8. So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
