I am just curious how many people who are not religious have heard of Psalm 91.


1: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2: I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3: Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6: Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8: Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9: Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10: There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12: They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13: Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14: Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15: He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16: With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

This is from one of the "Approved Books", not tossed out by a Pagan Emperor -"Constantine" at the Council at Nicaea.

I'm a bit conflicted here. Am I not religious? I don't consider myself as altogether unreligious. Though by many standards, I'm far from outright religious.

Today, I'm a member of no church. My beliefs about the hereafter and the beyond aren't static and don't fit so easily in a box. If I had to characterize? I'd say mostly, I'm agnostic, though my unsureness varies depending on the circumstances.

That said, I was a LC-MS member 'til my early 20s. I was in parochial school grades 1 through 8. Lotsa memory work. Bible verses, Luther's Catechism, etc. Didn't attend Sunday school, but heard plenty of sermons with attendant liturgy.

So, concerning your query here Dude, as it is I can't say anything for sure. I'm familiar with the book, some passages I still know quite well, but Psalm 91? Odds are good I was at least exposed to it, yet seeing it now, it doesn't set off any bells.

Well, them's the breaks Dude. Still, you got two replies to the thread! Better than nothing at all

Anahoo, you could rephrase the question, try again, but then, why bother... If at first you don't succeed, quit. No sense making a complete spectacle of yourself eh? ;)
