My Danger Shield


Psalms 91

One in seclusion at the Most High to reside,
Shielded by a shadow of the Lord to abide;
I'll let God know He is my fortification,
My trust in the Lord is a firm foundation;
He steers me from a con trying to swindle,
Or someone who desires a fight to kindle;
As a mother hen he gives me the shelter,
His truth's a shield that acts as a filter;
With God I will not fear of terror by night,
Nor will I worry about danger in daylight;
The plague that lurks around in the dark,
Nor the destructive fire set off by a spark;
Thousands may fall who don't hold the faith,
Who would rather put their trust in fate;
Only with your eyes will you awe to behold,
And see the plight of the wicked to unfold;
For God is my protection against the peril,
And everything that is created by the devil;
A long life I'll serve for His satisfaction,
And He will reward me with my salvation.
