At this time of challenge facing the coronavirus, this Psalm speaks God’s power, presence, intentions, and protection against fear. Described as a covering for His people, God’s comfort is a wing of security amidst this world’s uncertainties and suffering.
Enter deeply today in the words of this scripture. We believe, teach, and confess that Holy Scripture is the Word of God. These are God's words, take them into your heart.
Psalm 91 God Our Protector
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
will say of the Lord,
“He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly diseases.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the diseases that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you say,
“The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your home.
For he will command his
angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the
cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he loves
me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer
him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
