Psalm 91 - Under His Wings
Psalm 91, often titled "Under His Wings," is a poetic declaration of trust in God as a refuge and fortress, assuring protection from plagues, arrows, night terrors, and other perils for those who dwell in the Most High. Attributed traditionally to Moses, the psalm outlines specific promises of angelic deliverance and victory over enemies, rooted in wholehearted reliance on divine shelter rather than human strength. Its significance appears in the New Testament when Satan quotes verses 11-12 during Jesus' wilderness temptation, underscoring the psalm's authority in spiritual conflict and testing. This passage has long served as a scriptural foundation for prayers of safety and faith amid danger.
