11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
11 He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go.
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
12 If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
(Read Psalm 91:9-16)
Whatever happens, nothing shall hurt the believer; though trouble and affliction befal, it shall come, not for his hurt, but for good, though for the present it be not joyous but grievous. Those who rightly know God, will set their love upon him. They by prayer constantly call upon him. His promise is, that he will in due time deliver the believer out of trouble, and in the mean time be with him in trouble. The Lord will manage all his worldly concerns, and preserve his life on earth, so long as it shall be good for him. For encouragement in this he looks unto Jesus. He shall live long enough; till he has done the work he was sent into this world for, and is ready for heaven. Who would wish to live a day longer than God has some work to do, either by him or upon him? A man may die young, yet be satisfied with living. But a wicked man is not satisfied even with long life. At length the believer's conflict ends; he has done for ever with trouble, sin, and temptation.
