[quote:Agent 99:MV80ODUyNzMxXzg4NjE3MDc1X0VFNjg0Njg0] [quote:The Lazy Monk:MV80ODUyNzMxXzg4NjE1ODQ4XzFGRUVGMEM5] Don't just try to interpret a single sentence. Context matters. Psalm 91 is in its entirety about you being safe from all harm once you are under God's protection. The general form of Psalm 91 is poetic, because it [i]is [/i]poetry. This means the [i]feeling [/i]the words inspires in the reader by free association is the actual point. This was not written by a lawyer, and you shouldn't read it like one! Psalm 91:6 lists one example of the many kinds of harm you will be protected against, namely [i]disease[/i]. It's repeated twice in different words, just because it's poetry. Not much more to it. IMO, the CORRECT way to read the Psalms, is to [i]feel what they make you feel[/i]. Not to dissect them and make up clever interpretations. There's nothing for your left brain to decode here, it's food for your right brain. My 2c. [/quote] King James did indeed have lawyers on his staff of writers. Emotions (feelings) and their development happens from age 16-35, following Maslows. During that time we develop our pineal gland to see the world for our children, for that time period in life. Emotions aren't just a gift, they are a tool. The Psalms are indeed poetry, designed to appeal to emotion but also timeless in their ability to develop physical and intellectual needs. So the verses of 91 also speak of physical bravery, and of resolve to children. And of astuteness and esteem to older people. [/quote]

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Or of the account that walks in darkness or of the spirit that devastates at noonday
Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
Any further analysis of this would be great thank you
