Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi
 (Sung text for setting by Josquin des Prez)
 See original
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG
1  Laus cantici David. 
   Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi,
   in protectione Dei cæli commorabitur.
 Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es tu, et refugium meum;
   Deus meus, sperabo in eum.
 Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium,
   et a verbo aspero.
 Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi,
   et sub pennis ejus sperabis.
 Scuto circumdabit te veritas ejus:
   non timebis a timore nocturno;
 a sagitta volante in die,
   a negotio perambulante in tenebris,
   ab incursu, et dæmonio meridiano.
 Cadent a latere tuo mille, 
   et decem millia a dextris tuis;
   ad te autem non appropinquabit.
 Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis,
   et retributionem peccatorum videbis.
 ...
