Performance Notes
Liturgically, Psalm 91 is the responsorial psalm for the First Sunday in Lent (Year C) and a
common psalm for the Lenten season. In the Liturgy of the Hours, it is sung each week as the
psalm for Sunday Compline.
An optional inclusive-language text follows:
1. You who dwell in the shelter of our God, 4. For to the angels God’s given a command
who abide in this shadow for life, to guard you in all of your ways;
I
say to our God: My refuge, upon their hands they will bear you up,
my Rock in whom I trust!” lest you dash your foot against a stone.
EW
2. The snare of the fowler will never capture you REFRAIN:
and famine will bring you no fear: And God will raise you up on eagle’s wings,
under God’s wings your refuge, bear you on the breath of dawn,
and faithfulness your shield. make you shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of God’s hand.
3. (no changes)
—M.J.
