Salmo 91

The song 'Salmo 91' by Bola de Neve is a musical adaptation of Psalm 91 from the Bible, a passage that speaks profoundly about divine protection and faith. The lyrics emphasize the safety and security that come from dwelling in the 'secret place of the Most High.' This metaphorical 'secret place' represents a state of spiritual closeness and trust in God, where no harm or plague can reach the believer. The repetition of the phrase 'Aquele que habita no esconderijo do altíssimo' underscores the importance of this divine refuge.

The song further elaborates on the protective nature of God, describing Him as a rock, shield, and refuge. These metaphors convey strength, defense, and a safe haven, suggesting that those who place their trust in God will be safeguarded from various dangers. The imagery of being covered by God's wings and not fearing the 'terror of night' or 'arrow that flies by day' evokes a sense of peace and security, reinforcing the idea that faith in God provides protection against both seen and unseen threats.

Additionally, the lyrics mention God's angels being commanded to guard the believer, ensuring that they do not stumble. This divine intervention is portrayed as a powerful force that enables the believer to overcome formidable challenges, symbolized by 'treading on the lion and the cobra.' The song concludes with a promise of rescue, protection, and salvation for those who love and call upon God, highlighting the reciprocal relationship between divine love and human faith. The overall message of 'Salmo 91' is one of unwavering trust in God's protection and the assurance of His presence in times of trouble.
