Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in Whom I trust!"
For it is He Who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
You will not be afraid of the terror by night.
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand.
But it shall not approach you.
You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.
For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
"Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him securely on high, because he has known My Name.
"He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
"With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation."
Who is it that will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty? The one who moves into the shelter of the Most High God as his home to live there.
Our God is El Elyon, the Most High; El Shaddai, God Almighty; YHWH, the Lord God Who Hates Sin and Provides Salvation; Elohim, God the Originator, Creator of All and Sustainer of All, Over All, In and Through All.
He is everything that ever has and ever will be worshipped (even though those who hate Him ascribe His attributes to demons).
Those who have taken shelter in our Good, Good Father will have His protection, His deliverance, His peace and rest. We can safely trust our all to Him.
O my Father, I seek to dwell in the shelter and shadow of Your wings. I seek Your peace and love to vanquish all fear as I behold with my own eyes a thousand falling at my side, ten thousand at my right hand; to see with my own eyes the recompense of the wicked, knowing it will not touch me. I trust You that no evil will befall me, no plague come near my tent; and I will behold Your salvation!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
