Psalms91

Psalm 91 extols the divine protection afforded to those who dwell in the Most High. It assures believers of deliverance from various dangers, including pestilence and terror, affirming that no evil shall befall them. The psalm highlights God's promise to send angels for their safekeeping and to grant them long life and salvation.

The Security of Dwelling in the Most High

1
He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,
2
He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

Deliverance from Calamity and Fear

3
For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
4
With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler is His truth.
5
Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
6
Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,
7
There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
8
But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

The Habitation of the Faithful

9
(For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.
10
Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,
11
For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,
12
On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.
13
On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

The Lord's Personal Promise

14
Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him--I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.
15
He doth call Me, and I answer him, I am with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.
16
With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
