Charles Spurgeon told one fascinating story regarding Psalm 91.
Spurgeon tells us of a shoemaker in the 1800’s who wrote
Psalm 91:9-19 on his window during the great cholera plague
in Germany. Although thousands around him perished, the shoemaker’s business flourished, and none of his customers fell
ill. It doesn’t matter what is going on around you.
IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR THEE!
1. Whosoever lives in the secret place of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
​
2. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
​
3. Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
​
4. He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

9. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
​
10. no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
​
11. For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
​
12. they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13. You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
​
14. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
​
15. He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16. With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
