Protection

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

Psalm 91:1 (KJV)

God's promise of protection

It is good to read Psalm 91 every day and to speak it over your life, your family, your business and all those you love.

Paul said, writing to the Church: “You are God's farm, God's garden, God's household, you are God's building” (1 Cor. 3:9).

That means we belong to God. Now, if you have a building that is worth something, even your own house, you will protect it in every way you can. And God, in his Holy Word, has promised us that protection. I think the most important promise is in Psalm 91.

Psalm 91:10 according to a Swedish translation. “No accident shall befall you." I claimed this protection for my life.

Verse 10 continues: ‘No plague shall come near your dwelling.’ I claimed this part of the verse for my life, as well as verse 11: ”For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.”

God has made promises and made arrangements for us. If our faith is not in God's promises, we are living well below the privileges that God has granted us. God loves us and wants our lives to be under his protection.

Psalm 91

King James Version

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Psalm 91

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.

11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].

12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation..

Psalm 91

Laughing Bird Liturgical Resources (scripture paraphrases) from Australia

Your greatness and strength are our shelter, LORD;
we can live secure in your shade.
We call you our refuge, our place of safety;
you are the God in whom we trust.

You steer us clear of the traps that have been laid for us,
and keep us safe when disease threatens to wipe us out.
You gather us safely under your wings
like a mother bird shielding her chicks.
We are secure behind your armour-plated loyalty.

Night or day, we have nothing to fear;
not bullets, nor bombs;
not illness, nor injury;
not the withering heat of the sun,
nor the crippling power of fear itself.

We have nothing to fear because we have found safety in you;
we have settled down within your care.
Thanks to you, LORD of the universe, no evil can touch us;
disaster can not get a foot in the door.

You have instructed your angels to look after us;
made it their job to protect us wherever we go.
You’ve told them to catch us when we fall;
to keep us from coming to grief on hidden snags.

With your help we can face any danger;
we can stare down crocodiles and Tiger snakes.

Those who know you and love you can depend on you,
you are always there to pull them out of trouble.

The moment they call, you answer;
you’re on their side when all hell breaks loose;
you save their lives and throw a party in their honour.

You give them long and fulfilling lives, LORD;
they will see the realisation of all you have promised.
