Psalms 91
1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
8You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
9Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14"Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation." A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

Psalms 91:1-8 Verses 1-8
He that by faith chooses God for his protector, shall find all in him that he needs or can desire. And those who have found the comfort of making the Lord their refuge, cannot but desire that others may do so. The spiritual life is protected by Divine grace from the temptations of Satan, which are as the snares of the fowler, and from the contagion of sin, which is a noisome pestilence. Great security is promised to believers in the midst of danger. Wisdom shall keep them from being afraid without cause, and faith shall keep them from being unduly afraid. Whatever is done, our heavenly Father's will is done; and we have no reason to fear. God's people shall see, not only God's promises fulfilled, but his threatenings. Then let sinners come unto the Lord upon his mercy-seat, through the Redeemer's name; and encourage others to trust in him also.
Psalms 91:9-16 Verses 9-16
Whatever happens, nothing shall hurt the believer; though trouble and affliction befal, it shall come, not for his hurt, but for good, though for the present it be not joyous but grievous. Those who rightly know God, will set their love upon him. They by prayer constantly call upon him. His promise is, that he will in due time deliver the believer out of trouble, and in the mean time be with him in trouble. The Lord will manage all his worldly concerns, and preserve his life on earth, so long as it shall be good for him. For encouragement in this he looks unto Jesus. He shall live long enough; till he has done the work he was sent into this world for, and is ready for heaven. Who would wish to live a day longer than God has some work to do, either by him or upon him? A man may die young, yet be satisfied with living. But a wicked man is not satisfied even with long life. At length the believer's conflict ends; he has done for ever with trouble, sin, and temptation.
