This is one of the most beautiful Psalms of protection. What a comfort to know how much our Father loves, cares for and watches over us!
Contained in this one Psalm are five different names of God. Five, for those who may not know, is the number of Grace.
" He who dwells in the secret place of the: "Most High:"
#1-Elyon-Most High, first mentioned when Abram met Melchizedek. There is no One higher or more powerful to watch over us......
"......shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty- #2El Shaddai, first mentioned when God told Abram about the child of promise. He is the nurturing One. Soon afterward, Sarah became pregnant.
"......I will say of the LORD: #3-Yahweh, mentioned in Gen. 2:4-the Hand of Grace, Nailed in Grace; the One Who gave His life to redeem us!
".....He is my refuge and strength, my God: #4-Elohim-Creator, first mentioned in Genesis 1:1; in Whom I trust." The One Who can make something out of nothing.
It concludes with this:
"With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My "Salvation."*: literally, "show him my "Yeshua- [ישועה]: "Ya (God) saves!
Isn't God cool! He wants you to have a long life; to show you more of Jesus; to give you more time to tell others about Him, His beauty and to preach gospel to as many as possible because you're no earthly good in heaven. The devil cannot do anything about the fact that you're going to heaven, but he can see to it that you get there faster. You see, in heaven, you cannot be of any earthly good, like bless your family, your church, your community, your nation; in fact, all nations!
God wants you well and well protected and living a long life!!
Five names of God in one Psalm; there is no better place to be than surrounded and protected by Grace!
No other place to hide while on earth
