A psalm is a sacred song or hymn. The Book of Psalms has a list of several, but Psalm 91, remains the best for a protection prayer
Psalm 91 (AMPC)
1 He who wells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.
11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.
14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
What is the meaning of Psalm 91?
God’s desire is to shield us from harm, requiring our conscious seeking of His presence. Just as David boldly declared his connection with God, who is He to you? Is He your personal deity or inherited from your parents?
Amid challenges, God aims to deliver us, aware of the devil’s schemes and even modern afflictions like COVID-19. Surviving amid numerous deaths underscores His protective hand, a reason to express gratitude.
God’s plan is our safeguard, but we must actively approach Him. Trust in His unwavering Word, the Bible, and have faith in His faithfulness beyond human limits, countering Satan’s assaults.
While fear is a natural part of life, believing in God’s protection dispels it. He assures us that, despite fears, His shield prevails.
God guards us day and night, repelling the enemy’s constant threats. Amid global crises, God’s promise stands firm, and in His presence, we find our refuge.
Why will God protect us?
God’s protection stems from unwavering trust in Him, transcending what our eyes perceive.
While challenges like COVID-19, droughts, famines, and natural disasters may shake our reliance on God, His Word affirms His ability to shield our families.
Your existence today reflects His safeguarding. Keep steadfast in your dependency on Him.
