He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress: my God, in him will I trust.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thy trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neighter shall any plague come near thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up with thy hands lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shall trample on the adder and the lion, the young lion and the dragon shall thou trample under foot. Because he has sat his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me and I will answer him, I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satify him, and show him my salvation.
>>>Because you have made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neighter shall any plague come near thy dwelling.
I have always felt this was an "end time" Psalm because in David's day 10,000 could not fall at once.
The "Because" is critical! For those who have not make the Lord their refuge -- they are without Divine Protection!
A prayer covering and a Blood covering...who could want for more?
Many read right over this without seeing what it says. The thousand that "at thy side" are your brothers, your compadres. the "ten thousand at your right hand" are different though. Think in terms of the time this was penned, when warriors went into battle armed with swords, which they used in THEIR RIGHT HANDS.
Yes, the "ten thousand at your right hand" are the enemy, killed with your sword.
Prasie God for His divine protection over our warriors.
