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.
