He that has God his guardian made by Samuel Long — Lyrics
Laus cantici David. Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi, in protectione Dei caeli 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 daemonio 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.

About He that has God his guardian made
Samuel Long sets Psalm 91 in this sacred work for SATB choir. The Latin text, 'Qui habitat', is a powerful declaration of faith and divine protection, invoking God as a refuge and shield against all harm. The composer's setting reflects the solemnity and reassurance of the ancient words, offering a profound musical meditation on trust and security in God's care. The English translation ensures the message is accessible, making this hymn a fitting choice for contemplation and devotion. It is a setting of the psalm that begins 'He that has God his guardian made' in English, and 'Qui habitat' in Latin, a profound expression of unwavering faith.
