Psalm 91
Psalm 91 is known as the Soldier's Psalm
- You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
- Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust."
- God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague,
- Will shelter you with pinions, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield.
- You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day,
- Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.
- Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come.
- You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see.
- You have the LORD for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold.
- No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.
- For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.
- With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
- You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.
- Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high.
- All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor.
- With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power.
Prayer to Saint Michael, the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
