Psalm 91 Prayer

Psalm 91 has become known as the Protection and Shield Psalm.

Whatever is done, our heavenly Father’s will is done; and we have no reason to fear. Whatever trouble is for good. Set your eyes and love upon God in all your ways. By prayer constantly call upon Him.

He promises that he will, in due time, deliver the believer out of trouble, and, in the mean time, comfort him in trouble.

Meditate daily on God’s love conveyed through the words of Psalm 91. Memorize it so that you are able to recite it in times of trouble. It is one of the most powerful psalms ever written. Every word is filled with the presence of God enveloping you in His love and protection.

Because I dwell in the secret place
Of the Most High,
I shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord,
You are My Refuge and my Fortress:
My God;
In You will I trust.

Surely You will deliver me from
The snare of the fowler,
And from the deadly pestilence.

You shall cover me with Your feathers,
And under Your wings shall I trust.
Your truth shall be my shield and buckler.

I shall not be afraid of the terror by night;
Or of the arrow that flies by day;

Or of the pestilence that walks in darkness;
Or of the destruction that lays 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 with my eyes will I behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because I have made the Lord,
Who is my Refuge,
Even the Most High,
My dwelling place,

There shall no evil befall me,
Neither shall any evil come near my house.

For You shall give Your angels charge over me,
To keep me in all of my ways.

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

I shall tread upon the lion and adder;
The young lion and the serpent
I shall trample under foot.

Because I have set my love upon You,
Therefore You will deliver me.

You will set me on high,
Because I have known Your Name.

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 You will satisfy me,
And show me Your salvation.
