Psalm 91 by Suzanne Peterson
1. Those who dwell in God’s secret place
stay steady and fixed in His Highest place.
2. I say, "He’s my fortress, my God on High,
on Him I will lean and trust and rely,
3. For He will deliver me from any harm
4. under the protection of His outstretched arm."
5. There’s no need to fear things that bump in the night
or big ugly giants, no matter what height,
6. or sickness that roams around in the dark,
looking to bite you but only can bark.
7. For a thousand may fall, ten thousand too,
8. but you will just watch, it will not come near you.
9. Because God’s your refuge, evil can’t make a dent.
10. No plague or calamity can come near your tent
11. He gives His angels charge over you
to defend and protect you in all that you do,
12. to keep you from falling or stubbing your toe
13. clearing your path wherever you go.
14. God says, "You’ve set your love upon me
so I’ll set you on high for all to see.
15. When you call out My Name, you're never forsaken
all your pains and your troubles, I've already taken.
16. I will satisfy you with a good life that's long
and provide you salvation, for to Me you belong."
