About Psalms 91
A psalm of refuge: the one who dwells in the secret place of the Most High rests under the shadow of the Almighty, shielded from terror by night, arrows by day, and pestilence in darkness. Angels are charged to guard his ways โ the verse Satan quoted to Jesus in the wilderness โ and God Himself promises deliverance, protection, and long life to the one who knows His name.
