Psalms 91:10

"Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,"

Key Reflection

This verse speaks of trusting in God as a source of safety and protection. By making the Lord one's refuge and dwelling place, the psalmist encourages a close, intimate relationship with God where he finds solace and security in times of trouble.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

There shall no evil befall thee -The Chaldee Paraphrase has, “The Lord of the world answered and said, ‘There shall no evil befall thee,’” etc. The sentiment, however, is that the psalmist could assure such an one, from his own personal experience, that he would be safe. He had himself made Yahweh his refuge, and he could speak with confidence of the safety of doing so. This, of course, is to be understood as a general truth, in accordance with what has been said above. Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling -On the word rendered “plague” hereנגעnega‛- seePsalms 38:12, note;Psalms 39:11, note.
