Definition: Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.
Explanation: Okay, let's break down Psalm 91:3 – it’s a really powerful and comforting verse. Here’s what it means in simple terms: Basically, it’s saying that God is going to protect you from danger. Let’s unpack each part: “Surely he shall deliver thee…” - This uses the word “deliver” which means to save, protect, or rescue someone. It implies a definite and certain action on God's part. "Thee" is a gentle way of saying “you.” “…from the snare of the fowler…” – The “snare” represents any kind of trap or danger. A fowler is someone who sets traps to catch animals, and this metaphor suggests that danger might come in many forms – perhaps from temptation, hardship, or misfortune. “And from the noisome pestilence.” – "Pestilence" means a disease or sickness, often a deadly one. This part speaks to the fear of illness and death. So, putting it all together: God is promising to protect you from both traps (like temptation or hardship) and illness and danger. It’s a guarantee of safety and protection. What does this verse mean for us? It's a message of hope and reassurance – knowing that even when things seem scary, God is watching over us and will protect us from harm. Think of it like this: It’s a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and that God always has our back. 😊 --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse?
