1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High ♦︎
and abides under the shadow of the Almighty,
2 Shall say to the Lord, My refuge and my stronghold, ♦︎
my God, in whom I put my trust.
3 For he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler ♦︎
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with his wings
and you shall be safe under his feathers; ♦︎
his faithfulness shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, ♦︎
nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6 Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, ♦︎
nor of the sickness that destroys at noonday.
14 Because they have set their love upon me,
therefore will I deliver them; ♦︎
I will lift them up, because they know my name.
15 They will call upon me and I will answer them; ♦︎
I am with them in trouble,
I will deliver them and bring them to honour.
16 With long life will I satisfy them ♦︎
and show them my salvation.

1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long.
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
in mortals, in whom there is no help.
4 When their breath departs, they return to the earth;
on that very day their plans perish.
5 Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith for ever;
7 who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 The Lord will reign for ever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord!
