  Because Psalm 91 does not have a title, it is uncertain who wrote it.  Nevertheless, it gives assurance to those who love God and dwell in Him.  God will deliver and protect the righteous during troubles.

Verses 3-10 In what ways has God delivered and protected me? Verses 11-12 Satan misused these verses when trying to tempt Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:6 and Luke 4:10-11), but Jesus responded with "You shall not put the Lord your God to the test" (Deuteronomy 6:`16).  How might this psalm sometimes be similarly misunderstood? Verse 13 In Scripture, the Enemy has been depicted as a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8) and a serpent (Genesis 3).  How does this verse encourage us?
