PSALME 91. (Book 91)

A Prayer for protection in all dangers.

VVHoso dwelleth under the defence of the most High: shall abide under the sha∣dow 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.

2 For he shall deliver thee from the suare of the hunter: and from the noysome pestilence.

4 He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe under his feathers: his faithful∣nesse and truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for any terrour by night: nor for the arrow that flieth by day.

6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkenes: nor for the sicknesse that destroyeth in the noone day.

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 ••ee 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 evill happen unto thee: neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his Angells charge over thee: to keep thee in all thy wayes.

12 They shall beare thee in their hands: that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.

13 Thon shalt goe upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon salt thou tread under thy feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, there∣fore shall I deliver him: I shall set him up, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will heare him: yea, I am with him in trouble, I will deli∣ver him, and bring him to honour.

16 With long life will I satisfie him: and shew him my salvation.

The Prayer.

O Lord God our hope and our strong hold, have mercy upon us, and defend us under the sha∣dow of thy wings, that we trusting under thy de∣fence, may by thy faithfulnesse and truth be co∣vered as with a shield and buekler. Give thy An∣gels charg concerning us and our habitations, that we may be preserved and kept in all our wayes▪ that no evill happen unto us, no plague come nigh our dwelling, no terrors of the night, no ar∣rowes

of thy vengeance by day may disturbe our peace or safety. Let thy ministring Spirits beare us in their hands, and keep us from precipice, from fracture of bones, from dislocations, noysome or sharp diseases, stupidities, and deformities, that we may tread under our feet all the snares of the roaring lion and the great dragon the Divell, who seeks our bodily and ghostly hurt. Doe thou set thy love upon us, and deliver us from all our trou∣bles, and at the end of our dayes shew us thy sal∣vation, and satisfie us with long life, even of a bles∣sed eternity in thy Kingdom, through Iesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
