Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation. T his Psalm begins with an admonishment on how to live, how to think.
Faith is the key.
Faith in the unfailing power of the Lord. Faith in His strength, even in times of trouble. This is followed by a wonderful promise. Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. I love the mental image here, of God Himself covering us with His wings, the massive pinions sheltering us.
