Qui habitat

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 16 verses

  1. 1

    He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, *
    abides under the shadow of the Almighty.

  2. 2

    He shall say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my stronghold, *
    my God in whom I put my trust."

  3. 3

    He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter *
    and from the deadly pestilence.

  4. 4

    He shall cover you with his pinions, and you shall find refuge under his wings; *
    his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.

  5. 5

    You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *
    nor of the arrow that flies by day;

  6. 6

    Of the plague that stalks in the darkness, *
    nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.

  7. 7

    A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, *
    but it shall not come near you.

  8. 8

    Your eyes have only to behold *
    to see the reward of the wicked.

  9. 9

    Because you have made the LORD your refuge, *
    and the Most High your habitation,

  10. 10

    There shall no evil happen to you, *
    neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

  11. 11

    For he shall give his angels charge over you, *
    to keep you in all your ways.

  12. 12

    They shall bear you in their hands, *
    lest you dash your foot against a stone.

  13. 13

    You shall tread upon the lion and adder; *
    you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.

  14. 14

    Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I deliver him; *
    I will protect him, because he knows my Name.

  15. 15

    He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; *
    I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him to honor.

  16. 16

    With long life will I satisfy him, *
    and show him my salvation.
