Psalm 91

     Psalm 91 talks about believing in God and putting God first. When one puts God first He will protect he or she from evil. God is always someone one can trust and rely on, He will keep the evil out. When one puts God as their number one they will not have to be paranoid about the evil that surrounds them in the world. When having faith in God one will know that He is always watching over you protecting so therefore they don’t fear any of the evil going around in the world. Accepting God will overcome all evil.
        In Psalm 91 their are also numerous symbolism being showed. For example, line 4 says “ He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust”, in this line the words feathers and wings are an example of symbolism. God putting one under his wings keeps us safe from the storm or otherwise the evil. Another example of symbolism is in line 13 where it states,” Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet”, the lion and the dragon could be meaning something evil or in other words the devil. The theme of this psalm is when one shows God that they believe in Him and He is in their heart they will receive blessings and be protected.
