I've spoken Psalm 91 in the 1st person perspective, so that listeners may read and/or speak along with the knowledge that Christ fulfilled the word so that we can truly speak his words of ourselves, through him! In doing this, we fulfill Rom 12:2 by renewing our minds to the truth of God's word, by teaching it to think according to his truth, rather than by our sight. For we walk by faith, and not by sight.  I'll include the written transcript below. (Edits written in boldface with brackets). 1. [I LIVE] in the secret place of the most High [and I STAY] under the shadow of the Almighty.

  1. I [say of the Lord, "you are] my refuge and my fortress: My God; [and I put my trust in you!]"

SURELY [you deliver me] from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 [You cover me (as a hen) with your] feathers, and under [your wings, I] trust: [your TRUTH is my shield and buckler!

  1. [I am NOT ] afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;  

  2. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

  3. A thousand shall fall at [my] side, and ten thousand at [my] right hand; but it shall NOT come near to me, or my family]!

  4. Only with [my eyes will I] behold and see the reward of the wicked.

  5. Because [I have made the Lord my refuge, even the most High, my] habitation;

  6. There shall no evil befall [me], neither shall any plague come [near my] dwelling.

  7. For [he HAS GIVEN] his angels charge over [me, to keep me in ALL my] ways.

  8. They [bear me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.

  9. [I] tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon [do I] trample under feet.

  10. Because [I have set my love upon YOU God; you ALWAYS deliver me!

  11. [You have fulfilled your promise to "set [us] on high" and through the sacrifice of your son Jesus!  I am seated "together in heavenly places IN Christ Jesus" (Eph 2:6) because I am one Spirit with him, (1Cor 6:17) and he is in The Father, and The Father is in him, and you have made your home inside of me! (John 14:20).

...[because I have known your Holy name. Because I have made you the Lord and ruler of my life.

  1. [I call upon your holy name, and you are faithful to answer me! You are with me in trouble; you ALWAYS deliver me, and you honour me with your presence!]

  2. With long life will [you satisfy me on this earth, and bestow upon me, your great salvation for all eternity in your great heaven!]
