Psalms 91

91
Psalm 91
God is a safe place #91:1 In this psalm, a priest tells someone that they are safe, if they trust the Lord for help (verses 1-13). Then God speaks (verses 14-16), and he himself promises to keep the person safe.
1If anyone lives in Almighty God's safe place,
the Most High God protects that person.
2I will say to the Lord,
‘You are the strong place where I will be safe.
You are my God,
and I trust in you.’
3God will keep you safe,
so that no trap will catch you. #91:3 People catch birds in traps. The bird does not see it. But God will not let anything catch his servant.
He will not let any illness kill you.
4He will keep you safe,
like a bird keeps its babies safe under its wings.
Because he keeps his promises,
he will keep you safe like a shield and armour.
5Do not be afraid of troubles that come in the night,
or of your enemy's arrows during the day.
6Do not be afraid of any illness that comes when it is dark,
or any trouble that comes in the middle of the day.
7A thousand people may die near you.
Even ten thousand people may die at your side.
But nothing will hurt you.
8Your own eyes will see this happen.
You will see wicked people
receive the punishment that they deserve.
9You have come to the Lord to make you safe.
The Most High God has become your home.
10No bad thing will happen to you.
No illness will come to your home.
11For God will tell his angels to keep you safe. #91:11 Angels are God's servants. We cannot always see them, but they are there to help us.
They will protect you wherever you go.
12They will hold you safely in their hands,
so that you do not hurt your foot on a stone. #91:12 Satan used these words when he tested Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus told Satan that he was wrong to use these words to test him. See Matthew 4:6.
13You will win against lions and snakes.
You will walk over them!
14The Lord says, ‘If someone loves me,
I will keep him safe.
Because he worships me,
I will protect him.
15When he calls to me for help,
I will answer him.
When he has trouble,
I will be with him.
I will rescue him,
and people will respect him.
16I will give to him a long life,
so that he is happy.
He will see that I have the power to save people.’
