Moses faced literal dangers, but for the Christian, there is a deeper lesson. “He shall give His angels charge over you.” ( verse 11) The Psalm list various dangers (fowler, pestilence, plague, terror, arrow, lion, adder etc.) and God’s protecting care. “A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand” ( verse 7) During those years, Israel did see God’s punishment in the death of thousands. He experienced many dangers while leading over a million people through a hot desert without the protection of a large army or a permanent walled dwelling. Moses wrote this during the 40 years of wilderness wandering. The traditional Jewish thought is that Moses wrote Psalm 91.
