Psalm
91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will
abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My
God, in whom I trust!”
3
For
it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And
from the deadly pestilence.
4
He
will cover you with His pinions,
And
under His wings you may seek refuge;
His
faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
5
You
will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or
of the arrow that flies by day;
6
Of
the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or
of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
7
A
thousand may fall at your side
And
ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.
8
You
will only look on with your eyes
And
see the recompense of the wicked.
9
For
you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling
place.
10
No
evil will befall you,
Nor
will any plague come near your tent.
11
For
He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To
guard you in all your ways.
12
They
will bear you up in their hands,
That
you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13
You
will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The
young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
14
“Because
he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I
will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
15
“He
will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I
will be with him in trouble;
I
will rescue him and honor him.
16
“With
a long life I will satisfy him
And
let him see My salvation.”

heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
Him, And He will make your paths straight.

When
you cross the Jordan and live in the land which the Lord your God is giving you
to inherit, and He gives you rest from all your enemies around you so
that you live in security.

the Lord sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you
from the hands of your enemies all around, so that you lived in security.
Proverbs

[ The
Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security ] My son, if you will receive my
words And treasure my commandments within you.
Psalm
37;1-18
Security of Those Who Trust in the Lord, and Insecurity of the Wicked.
A
Psalm
of David.
1
Do
not fret because of evildoers,
Be
not envious toward wrongdoers.
2
For
they will wither quickly like the grass
And
fade like the green herb.
3
Trust
in the Lord and do good;
Dwell
in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
4
Delight
yourself in the Lord;
And
He will give you the desires of your heart.
5
Commit
your way to the Lord,
Trust
also in Him, and He will do it.
6
He
will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And
your judgment as the noonday.
7
Rest
in the Lord and wait patiently for Him;
Do
not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because
of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
8
Cease
from anger and forsake wrath;
Do
not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9
For
evildoers will be cut off,
But those
who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
10
Yet
a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And
you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.
11
But
the humble will inherit the land
And
will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
12
The
wicked plots against the righteous
And
gnashes at him with his teeth.
13
The
Lord laughs at him,
For
He sees his day is coming.
14
The
wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To
cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To
slay those who are upright in conduct.
15
Their
sword will enter their own heart,
And
their bows will be broken.
16
Better
is the little of the righteous
Than
the abundance of many wicked.
17
For
the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But
the Lord sustains the righteous.
18
The
Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And
their inheritance will be forever.
