Psalm 91 an American Promise
Notes
Transcript
“When
in the Course of human events,
it becomes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bands which
have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of
the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature
and of Nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them
to the separation.”
We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed, that
whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on
such principles and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to affect their Safety
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
Governments long established should not
be changed for light and transient causes;
and accordingly, all experience hath
shewn, that mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when a
long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same Object
evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is
their duty, to throw off such Government,
and to provide new Guards for their future
PSALM 91
Security of the One Who Trusts
in the Lord.
1
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!”
2
For it is He who delivers you
from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pesLlence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings
you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness
is a shield and bulwark.
3
4
You will not be afraid
of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pesLlence
that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destrucLon
that lays waste at noon.

7
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.

9
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.
10
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.

12
You will tread upon
the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you
will trample down.
13
“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.

15
“With a long life
I will saLsfy him
And let him see My salvaLon.”

This naLon was founded
on a Judeo-ChrisLan
worldview.
We need to
acknowledge it,
remember it and
celebrate it!
God has a lot of
promises and
protecLons for you and
our naLon if we will run
to Him, Abide in Him
and take refuge under
His shadow.
God’s Promises for us
are AMAZING!
1. "I will deliver him...”
2. "I will protect him...”
(set him securely on high)
3. "I will answer him..."
4. "I will be with him in trouble..."
5. "I will rescue him..."
