PSALM 91

MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS

The author of this psalm praises God for His protection, referring to Him as a refuge and fortress. This psalm acknowledges present troubles while remaining hopeful for future victory. 

In Genesis 3:15, God promises that although the enemy will strike our heel, his head will eventually be crushed. This verse is speaking of Jesus as the one who will crush the enemy’s head and His ultimate victory over sin and death. Psalm 91:13 is a reminder of this, saying the serpent will be trampled underfoot.

Psalm 91:9-10 - Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge - no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.
