1. He who dwells In the shelter of the Most High God Will abide, will abide Will abide in the shadow of his might 2. I will say To the Lord, my strength, my sal-va-a-tion I’ll abide, I’ll abide, I’ll abide in the shadow of your might Chorus: For His angels will guard you And His strength will enfold you With their hands they will lift you up With their hands they will lift you up Bridge: You are my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust My refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust

about

Psalm 91 is the Psalm traditionally read by the church all over the world at the beginning of Lent. N.T. Wright imagines that Jesus, when he was tempted in the desert, memorized it “ahead of time and was already using it as a prayer, day by day, to help him through the tough test he was facing. And the devil, seeing he isn't going to succeed by a direct assault on Jesus’ senses or appetites, tries a different tack: ‘If you really believed this Psalm, then wouldn't you trust God so much that you could throw yourself off the Temple? Doesn't it say he’ll send his angels to protect you? Perhaps you don’t believe it after all.'”

As we walk into the wilderness of Lent with Jesus this year, let's be reminded that Psalm 91 is a song for us. It promises that under the greatest of pressures and temptations God is our refuge. His wings of mercy and grace enfold and protect us from the enemy without and the enemy within. This is where we find shelter: in the shadow of his wings. Let's say and sing Psalm 91 to each other this season. He is our refuge.
