Psalm 91

Summer is here and people are traveling and enjoying vacation times. With that in mind, let’s confess Psalm 91 today and every day for our protection. You and I should develop a habit of making Psalm 91 our scripture we confess every day over ourselves and our families. It is loaded with protection especially to be considered for the days in which we live.

Let’s make our confession. We are going to personalize it for ourselves. I am using the Amplified version of the Bible as my foundation.

I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, and I abide, dwell, live, remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, Whose power no foe can withstand.

I will say of the Lord: He is my Refuge (Place where I am safe and protected, my hiding place from all physical danger) and my Fortress (My place of strength, my defense against all human enemies, my stronghold), my God; on Him I lean and rely and in Him I confidently trust.

For then He will deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence, plagues, malignant, contagious, infectious epidemic diseases which are deadly and devastating.

Then He will cover me with His feathers, and under His wings shall I trust and find refuge. His truth and His faithfulness are my shield and buckler.

I shall not be afraid of the terror of the night nor of the arrow, the evil plots and slanders of the wicked that fly by day.

I shall not be afraid of the pestilence that stalks in darkness nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me.

Only a spectator shall I be, myself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High, as I witness the reward of the wicked.

Because I have made the Lord my refuge, the Most High my dwelling place, there shall no evil befall me nor any plague or calamity, blow, infliction, stripe, stroke, wound come near my dwelling because with the stripes that wounded Him I am healed and made whole.

For He will give His angels especial charge over me to accompany, defend, preserve, guard, protect and keep me in all my ways of obedience and service.

They shall bear me up on their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.

I shall tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent shall I trample underfoot.

Because I have set my love upon You, You will deliver me. You will set me on high because I know and understand Your name. Your name, Lord, is a strong tower and I as Your righteous one run into it and I am safe, high above evil, strong, set aloft. I am in Your tower of protection.

I have a personal knowledge of Your mercy, love and kindness, trust and rely on You, knowing You will never forsake me, no never.

I shall call upon You and You will answer me. You will be with me in trouble. You will deliver Me and honor Me.

With long life will You satisfy me and show me Your salvation in every area of my life. In my pathway is life and no death.
