Having read the Bible multiple times, I certainly believe that "all Scripture is God-breathed." With this in mind, Psalm 91 has always presented me with the biggest challenge to this great truth. For instance, read some of the accounts of modern-day martyrs. We see numerous wonderful, courageous and fervent believers being brutally murdered daily in places such as Nigeria, North Korea and Malaysia — and many of these saints at very young ages. What do we do with a verse such as Psalm 91:14:"Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows my name." Obviously, this isn't always the LITERAL case, though it could have a spiritual meaning or even apply to eternity. This is just food for thought and the kind of things Bible scoffers jump on. I know this Psalm is true and literal, but it's not quite as black-and-white as it may appear. If anyone has an opinion, I would most certainly welcome it!

Its a great promise from God. Walking in His ways can only do one good. I hope that all who read tis Psalm understand its great promise. BTW. Isn't part of this Psalm the one passage the devil used to tempt Jesus in the desert? The part about not letting His foot be dashed upon a stone because the angels would hold Him up? I believe it is.

It is indeed a most reassuring Psalm. I have loved Jesus ever since I was a toddler and am now 75! God has blessed me with a wonderful husband for the last 56 years plus 4 healthy children, 8 grandchildren and 6 greats!! Sadly though, only one of our 4 has really followed the Christian walk as also one of her four has!!! Our oldest girl was seduced by Hare Krishna teachings, then New Age, and now boasts of being a "shaman" in Hawaii! Our older boy put himself through college and makes a good living as a Computer Engineer, but spurns marrying the girl he's lived with for years, saying she's too old to bear children to my husband's name and caring naught about the Lord's approval. Our youngest boy was in a brief homosexual relationship. All we can do is pray for the lost to see the light and return to the Lord before it's too late. We invite your prayers also. (I have been involved in prison, jail and nursing home ministry for 35 years and my husband has joined me the last 20.)GBY

Amen! This article shows how one psalm can be meaningful to so many in various situations. In a church I belonged to years ago, we always read this and prayed before embarking on a road trip--He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways--halleluiah!

I too love this scripture. It is a reminder to me of His protection and love. I also want to comment on bluecollar62's comment. You have given me hope for one of my loved ones who has left the Lord. My prayer is for him to also come back and have the desire for an intimate relationship with his Heavenly Father. May God bless your commitment to know Him better.

this is one of my favorite psalms. its uplifting, comforting, a real fear destroyer. bless the name of the Lord, read it over an over, live by it!!

I left God years ago...just recently He opened my eyes with His Love and let me know He has never left me. I enjoyed this article on PSALM 91. I have never read God's Word or studied it. He has put it in my heart to do so with quite a sense of urgency, just as He has put it in my heart to write this message down now. May the Love and Righteousness of my Lord Christ Jesus reach those who know it not this very day. Amen.

i stumbled upon this article when i was tired, physically and emotionally, and when i just finished reading it i could experience the encouraging and strengthening and uplifting presence of God.Praise the Lord!

I love this article, and Psalms 91 has always been my favorite, When I feel over whelmed by the trials of today I read this psalm to give me the strength to get through the day.God"s promise to watch over me and protect me in the face of my enemy, encourages me to try a little harder.His abiding love and protection, is a promise I stand on. No matter what our enemy is God will see us through.Put your trust in Him he won't let you down.
