Psalm 91- He That Dwelleth iin the Secret Place - Jack Marti

One of the first scripture songs I put together back in 1987. I thought of the tune on a trip I took with a deaf friend of mine. I didn't have a tape recorder with me, so I had to sing it over and over again so I wouldn't forget it. It's a good thing my friend was deaf!

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
My God; in Him will I trust.

Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler,
And from the noisesome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with His feathers,
And under His wings shalt thou trust;
His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day.
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A Thousand shall fall at thy side,
And ten thousand at thy right hand;
But it shall not come nigh thee.
But it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes
Shalt thou behold and see
The reward of the wicked.
But it shall not come nigh thee.
But it shall not come nigh thee.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,
Even the Most High, thy habitation.
There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For He shall give His angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion
And teh adder:
The young lion and the dragon
shalt thou trample under feet.

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.

He shall call upon Me,
And I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him,
And shew him My salvation.

i go to a church thats name came from psalm 91 i was wondering if i could use your lyrics to this song and record it for our congragation love your songs keep on praising the king of kings

[guitmartiman]

They're not my lyrics. They came straight out of the KJV. Last time I checked the KJV is not copyrighted. Feel free to use the lyrics or the tune as you see fit. Blessings on you!

[thessalonian71]

Is there any way I can just add all of these at once to my favourites? I love this!

[guitmartiman]

Well, I don't know about that, but you could subscribe I suppose...

Blessings on you!

[guitmartiman]

I memorized Ps 91 and belted out a song years ago on a guitar. Not quite like you did; mine was a bit snappier. Thanks for the reminder.
