Tu Não Serás Atingido (Salmo 91)

The song 'Tu Não Serás Atingido (Salmo 91)' by Canções de Vida is a powerful musical rendition of Psalm 91 from the Bible. This psalm is often referred to as the 'Psalm of Protection,' and the song captures its essence beautifully. The lyrics emphasize the safety and refuge found in God's presence, portraying Him as a protector who shields His followers from various dangers and adversities.

The song begins by describing those who dwell in the 'secret place of the Most High' and rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This imagery suggests a deep, intimate relationship with God, where one finds peace and security. The repetition of phrases like 'He is my refuge and my fortress' and 'In Him I will trust' reinforces the theme of unwavering faith and trust in God's protection. The lyrics also mention being delivered from the 'snare of the fowler' and 'perilous pestilence,' which are metaphors for the various traps and dangers one might face in life.

As the song progresses, it highlights the assurance that believers will not be harmed by the 'terror by night,' 'arrow that flies by day,' or 'pestilence that walks in darkness.' This comprehensive protection extends to all times of the day and all types of threats, symbolizing God's omnipresence and omnipotence. The repeated declaration that 'a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you' serves as a powerful reminder of God's promise to safeguard His faithful.

The song concludes with a reaffirmation of God's protective nature, stating that no evil shall befall the believer, and no plague shall come near their dwelling. The mention of angels being given charge over the faithful to keep them in all their ways further emphasizes the divine protection and care that God provides. 'Tu Não Serás Atingido (Salmo 91)' is a moving testament to the strength and comfort that faith in God can bring, especially in times of uncertainty and fear.
