Psalm 91 is a psalm of trust and confidence in God. It is a beautiful expression of the believer's reliance on God for protection and guidance in times of trouble. The psalm begins with a declaration of trust in God, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty" (verse 1).
The psalm goes on to describe the protection that God provides to those who trust in him. God is described as a "refuge" and a "fortress," and the believer is assured that they will be safe in his presence. God is also depicted as a powerful warrior, ready to defend his people from their enemies. The psalm says, "You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday" (verse 5-6).
In addition to physical protection, the psalm also speaks of the spiritual protection that God provides to those who trust in him. The believer is assured that God will be with them in times of trouble, and that he will rescue them and honor them. The psalm says, "You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot" (verse 13). This speaks to God's power to overcome any obstacle or enemy that may come against the believer.
Throughout the psalm, the believer is encouraged to trust in God and to rely on his protection and guidance. The psalm ends with a promise from God, saying, "With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation" (verse 16). This promise is a reminder that God is with us for the long haul, and that he will ultimately bring us to a place of salvation and eternal life.
In conclusion, Psalm 91 is a beautiful expression of trust and confidence in God. It reminds us that God is a refuge and a fortress, and that he is ready to protect and guide us through whatever challenges we may face. It encourages us to trust in him and to rely on his protection and guidance as we navigate this world.
