8 Only shalt thou look with thine eyes, and see the vengeance of the wicked.

9 For thou hast said, 'The Lord is my hope'; Thou hast chosen the Most High for thy refuge;

10 No evil shall befall thee, neither shall the plague come nigh to thy dwelling;

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways;

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone;

13 Thou shalt tread on the adder and the basilisk; you will trample on the lion and the dragon.

14 "Because he has loved me, I will deliver him; I will defend him, because he has known my name.

15 He shall call unto me, and I will hear him; with him I am in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him;

16 With long days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."

Psalm 91

Psalm 1. Hymn for the Sabbath Day.

2 It is good to praise the Lord, and to sing to thy name, O Most High,

3 to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night,

4 on the ten-stringed and psalter, with a song on the harp.

5 For thou hast made me glad, O Lord, in thy creation: I admire the works of thy hands.

6 How great are your works, O Lord! wonderfully deep are Thy thoughts!

7 A foolish man knoweth not, and an ignorant man knoweth not these things.

8 Whereas the wicked spring up like grass, and those who work iniquity blossom, to perish forever,

9 Thou, O Lord, art exalted for ever!

10 For behold, O Lord, Thy enemies, behold, Thy enemies perish, and all those who work iniquity are scattered;

11 And my horn thou liftest up like the horn of a unicorn, and I am anointed with fresh oil;
