Read the chapter

1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ✦ 2I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” ✦ 3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. ✦ 4He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. ✦ 5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; ✦ 6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. ✦ 7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. ✦ 8You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked. ✦ 9Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, ✦ 10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. ✦ 11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. ✦ 12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone. ✦ 13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot. ✦ 14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. ✦ 15He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. ✦ 16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.” ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 91 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
