1 One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will lodge 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 it is He who rescues you from the net of the trapper And from the deadly plague. 4 He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may take refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and wall. 5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; 6 Of the plague that [a]stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that devastates at noon. ---Psalm 91:1-6 NASB God is a shelter, a refuge when we are afraid. Here in Psalm 91, the writer’s faith in God as protector would carry him through all the dangers and fears of life. This should be a picture of our trust---trading all our fears for faith in him, no matter how intense our fears. To do this we must “live” and “rest” with him (91:1). By entrusting ourselves to his protection and pledging our daily devotion to him, we will be kept safe. --- Life Application Study Bible notes
