HE WHO DWELLS IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH (Ps. 90)

Antiphon 1 . My refuge, my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!\nAntiphon 2. His angels shall keep me in safety; no evil shall I fear.\nAntiphon 3. Call upon the Lord and he will hear you.\nHe who dwells in the shelter of the Most High\nAnd abides in the shade of the almighty\nSays to the Lord: “My refuge,\nMy stronghold, my God in whom I trust!”\n2. It is he who will free you from the snare\nOf the fowler who seeks to destroy you;\nHe will conceal you with his pinions\nAnd under his wings you will find refuge.\n3. You will not fear the terror of the night,\nNor the arrow that flies by day\nNor the plague that prowls in the darkness\nNor the scourge that lays waste at noon.\n4. A thousand may fall at your side,\nTen thousand fall at your right,\nYou, it will never approach;\nHis faithfulness is buckler and shield.\n5. Your eyes have only to look,\nTo see how the wicked are repaid,\nYou who have said: “Lord, my refuge!”\nAnd have made the Most High your dwelling.\n6. Upon you no evil shall fall,\nNo plague approach where you dwell;\nFor you has he commanded his angels,\nTo keep you in all your ways.\n7. They shall bear you upon their hands\nLest you strike your foot against a stone.\nOn the lion and the viper you will tread\nAnd trample the young lion and the dragon.\n8. His love he set on me, so I will rescue him,\nProtect him for he knows my name.\nWhen he calls I shall answer: “I am with you”.\nI will save him in distress and give him glory.\n9. With length of life I will content him;\nI shall let him see my saving power.\nTo the father, the Son and Holy Spirit\nGive praise for ever. Amen.\n1 4
