God Is Our Refuge

Psalm 91: 1-2, 9-16             

Living in the Most High’s shelter,

camping in the Almighty’s shade,

I say to the Lord, “You are my refuge, my stronghold!

You are my God—the one I trust!”

Because you’ve made the Lord your refuge,

the Most High, your place of residence—

no evil will happen to you;

no disease will come close to your tent.

Because he will order his messengers to help you,

to protect you wherever you go.

They will carry you with their own hands

so you don’t bruise your foot on a stone.

You’ll march on top of lions and vipers;

you’ll trample serpents underfoot.

God says, “Because you are devoted to me,

I’ll rescue you.

I’ll protect you because you know my name.

Whenever you cry out to me, I’ll answer.

I’ll be with you in troubling times.

I’ll save you and glorify you.

I’ll fill you full with old age.

I’ll show you my salvation.”
