17 And the glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us:
prosper thou the work of our hands upon us, O prosper thou our
handy-work.
PSALM 91. _Qui habitat_.
Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the most High: shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my strong hold:
my God, in him will I trust.
3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter: and
from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe
under his feathers: his faith fulness and truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night: nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness: nor for the sickness
that destroyeth in the noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy
right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold: and see the reward
of the ungodly.
9 For thou, Lord, art my hope: thou hast set thine house of
defence very high.
10 There shall no evil happen unto thee: neither shall any plague
come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee: to keep thee
in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee in their hands: that thou hurt not thy
foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver
him: I will set him up, because he hath known my Name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will hear him: yea, I am with
him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.
