“My Refuge! My Fortress! My Elohim, in Whom I Trust!” Saturday Psalm & Praise
Posted By Jacque on October 24, 2009
This is so encouraging! I am so glad to be sheltered in the shadow of Shaddai. I am thankful for his love and protection. I am thankful for family and the friends he gives as an expression of his love. In the happiest moment, we are not alone, and in the deepest pit, we have a refuge.
Psalms 91
1 You who live in the shelter of ‘Elyon, who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai, 2 who say to ADONAI, “My refuge! My fortress! My Elohim, in whom I trust!” 3 he will rescue you from the trap of the hunter and from the plague of calamities; 4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his truth is a shield and protection. 5 You will not fear the terrors of night or the arrow that flies by day, 6 or the plague that roams in the dark, or the scourge that wreaks havoc at noon. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it won’t come near you. 8 Only keep your eyes open, and you will see how the wicked are punished.9 For you have made ADONAI, the Most High, who is my refuge, your dwelling-place. 10 No disaster will happen to you, no calamity will come near your tent; 11 for he will order his angels to care for you and guard you wherever you go. 12 They will carry you in their hands, so that you won’t trip on a stone. 13 You will tread down lions and snakes, young lions and serpents you will trample underfoot. 14 “Because he loves me, I will rescue him; because he knows my name, I will protect him. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble. I will extricate him and bring him honor. 16 I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.“
What a blessing to know that I have a Most High Elohim who is my refuge and my dwelling place. No matter what happens or where I am, HE is the refuge and shelter. There is no fear. There is no harm can be done, as long as we are walking in his paths and his instruction. It is a very safe place to be!
Be Thou My Vision
English Translation
by Mary Byrne, 1905Be thou my vision O Lord of my heart
None other is aught but the King of the seven heavens.Be thou my meditation by day and night.
May it be thou that I behold even in my sleep.Be thou my speech, be thou my understanding.
Be thou with me, be I with theeBe thou my father, be I thy son.
Mayst thou be mine, may I be thine.Be thou my battle-shield, be thou my sword.
Be thou my dignity, be thou my delight.Be thou my shelter, be thou my stronghold.
Mayst thou raise me up to the company of the angels.Be thou every good to my body and soul.
Be thou my kingdom in heaven and on earth.Be thou solely chief love of my heart.
Let there be none other, O high King of Heaven.Till I am able to pass into thy hands,
My treasure, my beloved through the greatness of thy loveBe thou alone my noble and wondrous estate.
I seek not men nor lifeless wealth.Be thou the constant guardian of every possession and every life.
For our corrupt desires are dead at the mere sight of thee.Thy love in my soul and in my heart –
Grant this to me, O King of the seven heavens.O King of the seven heavens grant me this –
Thy love to be in my heart and in my soul.With the King of all, with him after victory won by piety,
May I be in the kingdom of heaven O brightness of the son.Beloved Father, hear, hear my lamentations.
Timely is the cry of woe of this miserable wretch.O heart of my heart, whatever befall me,
O ruler of all, be thou my vision.
This is the first song on my playlist, and it is is a comfort to hear it strike up and play. If you scroll down far enough, it will start playing. There are 3 versions of lyrics Wikipedia, and this is the English translation. You can follow the link to find the other 2.
These words are so perfect for what Yehovah is working in my heart right now. He IS a beloved Father. I praise him today! I pray you are blessed and have a very peaceful and wonderful Shabbat today!
blessings,

Interesting … I love that hymn (it is one of my favorites!) but I have never seen most of those words before! Some of those lyrics are beautiful! Thank you for posting!
To the KING be all the glory!
