Psalm 91

Memorizing Bible verses was something I was taught when I was in my early twenty's.  The tools useful to keep my mind stayed in good and healthy places.  When I was a young girl I heard Psalm 121 read in the movie from 1959 'The Diary of Anne Frank' when the Frank family along with other Jews were hiding from the Nazi's above a factory.  It was one of the first times when I saw how it was to cling to hope and promise via a verse in very present trouble. I learned Ps 121 a long time ago and the thought has stayed with me all these years .  Today I am learning Psalm 91.  I am up to verse 11 today.  So many versions of this movie... I think I might watch this one with Ben Kingsley

My Refuge and My Fortress

Psalm 91

She who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his pinions,

and under his wings you will ifind refuge;

his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

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 look with your eyes

and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—

the Most High, who is my refuge

10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,

no plague come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will bear you up,

lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;

the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

14 “Because she holds fast to me in love, I will deliver her;

I will protect her, because she knows my name.

15 When she calls to me, I will answer her;

I will be with her in trouble;

I will rescue her and honor her.

16 With long life I will satisfy her

and show her my salvation.”
