Psalms 91:2

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."

Key Reflection

This verse promises that those who trust in God and remain close to Him, dwelling in His presence even in hidden places, will find safety and peace under His protective care, much like seeking shelter in a shadow during the heat of the day. It emphasizes the security and comfort found in intimate fellowship with God.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will say of the Lord -I, the psalmist; I will take this to myself; I will endeavor to secure this blessedness; I will thus abide with God. In view of the blessedness of this condition, and with the hope of securing it to myself; I will adopt this resolution as the purpose of my life. It is what I need; it is what my soul desires. My refuge and my fortress - “I will say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress!” I will address him as such; I will regard him as such. On the meaning of these terms, see the notes atPsalms 18:2.
