Le Livre des Psaumes

Chapître 91

1

He that dwelleth⁶ in the secret place of the most High shall abide¹¹⁸ under the shadow of the Almighty.

2

I will say⁴ of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.⁴

3

Surely he shall deliver⁵⁵ thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

4

He shall cover⁵⁵ thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:⁴ his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.

5

Thou shalt not be afraid⁴ for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth⁴ by day;

6

[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh⁴ in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth⁴ at noonday.

7

A thousand shall fall⁴ at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh⁴ thee.

8

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold⁵⁵ and see⁴ the reward of the wicked.

9

Because thou hast made¹ the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation;

10

There shall no evil befall²⁹ thee, neither shall any plague come nigh⁴ thy dwelling.

11

For he shall give his angels charge¹⁷ over thee, to keep² thee in all thy ways.

12

They shall bear thee up⁴ in [their] hands, lest thou dash⁴ thy foot against a stone.

13

Thou shalt tread⁴ upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.⁴

14

Because he hath set his love¹ upon me, therefore will I deliver¹⁷ him: I will set him on high,¹⁷ because he hath known¹ my name.

15

He shall call⁴ upon me, and I will answer⁴ him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver¹⁷ him, and honour¹⁷ him.

16

With long life will I satisfy⁵⁵ him, and shew⁵⁵ him my salvation.
