Resting in God in Times of Trouble
Psalm 91:1-16
Psalm 91:1-16
1 He
who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will
say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." 3 Surely he will
save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his
feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and
rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the
pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may
fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only
observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 9 If you make the Most High your
dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge-- 10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will
come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your
ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14
“Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he
acknowledges my name. 15 He will 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."
