God Our Protector (PSA 91:1-16)

[91:1] Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty,

[91:2] can say to him, “You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust.”

[91:3] He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases.

[91:4] He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you.

[91:5] You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day

[91:6] or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight.

[91:7] A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you, but you will not be harmed.

[91:8] You will look and see how the wicked are punished.

[91:9] You have made the Lord your defender, the Most High your protector,

[91:10] and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.

[91:11] God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.

[91:12] They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.

[91:13] You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes.

[91:14] God says, “I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.

[91:15] When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them.

[91:16] I will reward them with long life; I will save them.”
