Psalm The Secret Place Psalm 91
In uncertain times we need the mighty promises in this psalm.
Because of its length, there are two potential ending phrases.
However, the song is most effective when sung in its entirety.
Lyrics:He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and fortress:
My God, in whom I will trust.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and fortress:
My God, in whom I will trust.
Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare
And from the deadly pestilence.
Covered by the feathers of His might wings,
There's refuge and peace and confidence.
His truth shall be your shield and buckler,
His faithfulness your sure defense,
His faithfulness your sure defense.
------------------- (Opt. End) -------------------
You will not fear the terror by night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor pestilence, plague, or destruction,
That comes with the sun's noon rays.
A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not come near you.
All that's needed for you is to stand
And see the punishment of the wicked.
With your eyes you will see their reward.
But, as you witness what befalls them,
Secure you'll be in the Lord.
Secure you'll be in the Lord.
------------------- (Opt. End) -------------------
Because you've made the Lord your refuge
And the Most High your dwelling place,
No evil shall overtake you,
Nor plague invade your space.
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
Lest you dash your foot against a stone,
They bear you up in their hands each day.
You'll tread on the lion and serpent;
Both you'll trample under foot.
"Because he loves Me and knows My Name," says the Lord,
"My protection on him I'll put.
I'll be with him in trouble;
Rescue and honor I'll give.
Salvation I will show him,
And a long life he'll live.
And a long life he'll live."
