WORD STUDY – SUDDEN DEATH AND DESTRUCTION מקטב ישׁוד
Psalms 91:6: “[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.” On top of everything else, we do not have to fear the destruction that wasteth at noonday. I am not sure what that it is but it sounds bad...
WORD STUDY – ARROW THAT FLIETH BY DAY מחצ יעופ יוממ
Psalms 91:5: “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;” Taken literally this verse really has little concern for us today. How mean how many of us are really afraid of being shot by an arrow during the...
WORD STUDY – TERROR BY NIGHT מפחד לילה
Psalms 91:5: “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;” night,terror Matthew 15:2: “Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.” I have...
WORD STUDY – OUR SHIELD AND BUCKLER סחרה אמתו
Psalms 91:4: “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.” So what is a shield and buckler? What is truth? The word used in the Hebrew for truth is ‘emeth. This word is most often...
WORD STUDY – IN HIM WILL I TRUST אבטח בו
Psalms 91:2: “I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” We throw this word trust around all the time as Christians. It is one of those words that we use over and over and we never stop to think of what it really...
WORD STUDY – FEATHERS AND WINGS – אבר כנפ
Psalms 91:4: “He shall cover thee with his feathers and under his wings shalt thou trust. His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” It is interesting that in many species of birds both the male and female will cover their chicks with their feathers and...
WORD STUDY – THE SNARE OF THE HUNTER מפח יקושׁ
Psalms 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. The word for snare mipach could come from two different root words. It could be pachach or pachad. Pachach means to entrap, either by a net or a snare....
WORD STUDY – HE IS MY REFUGE – מחסי
Psalms 91:2: “I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” I mean really, are not refuge and fortress the same thing? A refuge is a place of safety and so is a fortress. The only difference is that when you think...
WORD STUDY – THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION יהוה אורי וישׁעי
Psalms 27:1: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid.” Ok, it is confession time. I shall reveal to you one of my deepest darkest secrets. I have a school boy crush on...
WORD STUDY – INTO THE PIT יורדי בור
Psalms 28:1 “Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.” Like them that go down into the pit. Many commentators feel that this is just a poetic expression for death. In...
