Psalms 91:1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

Psalms 91:2 He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

Psalms 91:3 For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "dwelling", "secret", "place", "most", "high", "shade", "mighty", and "lodgeth". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "dwelling" and "secret", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "He is saying of Jehovah My refuge...", so "dwelling" and "secret" should be read forward into that movement. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "dwelling" and "secret" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
