Psalms 91
Psalm 91 assures that those who dwell in the **secret place** of the **Most High** and trust in **YHWH** as their refuge will be protected from the snare of the fowler, pestilence, terror by night, arrow by day, and plagues, with **YHWH** covering them with His pinions like a bird shielding its young.[1][2][3] God promises angelic charge over them, victory over lion and cobra, deliverance, protection, answered prayers, presence in trouble, honor, long life, and salvation for those who love and know His name.[1][2][3]
