Psalm 91:12
“They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 91Meaning
Within “Refuge, angels, and threatening powers,” verse 12 pictures angelic protection preventing a fall, the very promise later misused in the temptation of Jesus; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 91:12 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 91; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.
Reflection
Respond to the verse's specific emphasis — pictures angelic protection preventing a fall, the very promise later misused in the temptation of Jesus — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 91.
