Psalm 91

"We call upon you, God. . . Be our Refuge" This Psalm is one of the most memorized, recited, and adored in the history of humanity. We love its powerful imagery and promise but also we have a strained relationship with it--knowing it as the Psalm that the Satan used to tempt Jesus (Matt 4 and Luke 4). We pray this Psalm within this movement of Psalms, knowing its power, knowing that Jesus rebuffs the false interpretation by quoting Psalm 95, and knowing that the promises have already come true and we can experience their forever resonance.
