A Decree of Protection

A Psalm 91 Decree of Protection

I sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai, 
hidden in the strength of God Most High.
He’s the hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me,
the only God for me, and my great confidence.
 
His massive arms are wrapped around me, protecting me and my household.
I can run under his covering of majesty and hide.
His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping me from harm.
I will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night
nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against me.
I don’t fear a thing!
 
Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,
I will remain unscathed and unharmed.
Because I live within the shadow of God Most High,
my secret hiding place, I will always be shielded from harm.
How then could evil prevail against me or disease infect me?
 
God sends angels with special orders to protect me wherever I go,
defending me from all harm.
If I walk into a trap, the angels will be there for me
and keep me from stumbling.
I’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,
trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
 
For here is what the Lord has decreed concerning me:
 
“{Your Name}, because you have delighted in me,
I will greatly protect you.
I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face.
I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,
and you will find and feel my presence
even in your time of pressure and trouble.
I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.
You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.
For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”
