Song Introduction 

Psalm 91 is one of the most beloved and powerful prayers of protection in the entire Bible. Known as the "Soldier’s Psalm" or the "Song of the Dwelling Place," it offers a profound promise: those who choose to make God their habitation will find an unshakable refuge. This arrangement is designed to feel like a sacred journey—moving from the quiet, intimate "secret place" into a grand, celestial declaration of God’s deliverance. 

The Scripture: Psalm 91

91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

My God; in him will I trust.

🙏 Prayer After the Song 

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the "secret place" mentioned in this Psalm. Thank You that we do not have to live in fear of the "terror by night" or the "arrow by day," because our lives are hidden with Christ in You. May these words settle deep into our spirits. When we feel vulnerable, remind us of Your feathers covering us and Your angels guarding us. We declare today that You are our refuge and our fortress. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
