91 Donald Trump dwelleth in the secret place of the most High and Donald Trump abides under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Donald Trump says of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely the Lord delivers Donald from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 The Lord covers Donald Trump with his feathers, and under his wings does Donald Trump trust: the Lord's truth shall be Donald's shield and buckler.
5 Donald Trump is not afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at Donald Trump's side, and ten thousand at his right hand; but it shall not come nigh him.
8 Only with Donald's eyes will he behold and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because Donald Trump hast made the Lord, which is his refuge, even the most High, his habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall Donald Trump, neither shall any plague come nigh Donald's dwelling.
11 For the Lord gives his angels charge over Donald, to keep him in all his ways.
12 They shall bear Donald up in their hands, lest he dash his foot against a stone.
13 Donald Trump shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt he trample under foot.
14 Because Donald Trump hath set his love upon the Lord, therefore the Lord will deliver him: The Lord will set Donald on high, because Donald has known the name of the Lord.
15 Donald Trump shall call upon the Lord, and the Lord will answer him: the Lord will be with Donald Trump in trouble; the Lord will deliver Donald and honor him.
16 With long life will the Lord satisfy Donald Trump and show him the Lord's salvation.
Pray for him daily, that he not only wins, but listens to the Lord in doing so.
Exactly and I do believe he is beginning to realize that, also.
I’m voting for PawPaw Trump but please keep him out of my Psalm 91!
oh, I meant no offense, honestly. As a member of a military family I pray this psalm quite often, and have started including Trump as I see him as a warrior of sorts, also. I have no illusions about Trump's sainthood ... :)
This thread is pretty close to blasphemy. Inserting the name of Donald Trump into scripture is pretty bad.
The Bible tells us not to put our faith in the arm of flesh.
Donald Trump may be a good candidate and God may use him to rescue us from our folly, but he is not God and is not our Savior.
Ephesians 5
King James Version (KJV)
5 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
There is nothing wrong with personalizing our Psalms. They are prayers and praise to our Lord from our heart, and He knows each of us by name. Thank you true believer, for including Trump!
I can't tell you how many military wives, families and friends, who say this Psalm multiple times each day, inserting the names of their loved ones and warriors. It is not an attempt to blaspheme, it is claiming the promises therein. And believing them. I believe Trump is a warrior and his cause of trying to save America is collegiate with our beloved soldiers fighting and praying for a CIC who gives a damn about them over there and here, once they get back.

Praying for Trump, for his safety and continued strength, and thanking God for bringing him forward to lead our country out of hell.
Trump is a rough man. He is no priest. He is more warrior than diplomat. Trump does not suffer fools. He is a man of honesty if not humility. He is passionate about our country and its people.
The money is nothing. He's produced millions of jobs. God Bless Him.
He is becoming the man God wishes him to be. The man he will become in order to help our Nation.
Don’t be especially concerned about insulting fellow FReepers, after all, we generally do it that better to each other than liberals do to us however, DO be concerned about insulting the Lord!
As His Word is perfect, changing it is not a good thing, perhaps even blasphemy. Revelation 22:18-19 provides a dire warning about changing anything in that ‘scroll’ and Galatians 1:6-9 warns of ‘preaching’ a false gospel. The sentiments expressed in these Scriptures should extend to all of the Bible.
As a relatively conservative Canadian Christian, I am not especially fond of DJT’s mostly secular views however, when compared to the vast blackness that is HRC, I am 100% in favour of DJT, fwiw. A friend at church is hoping for a Christian 3rd party President. That is a wonderful sentiment, though highly improbable. Yes, pray for DJT, but remember that we should pray for His Will to be done first and foremost.
It may be that His Will is for Christendom to suffer the blackness of an HRC, as a ‘chastisement’, in which case, we must persevere, much as I shall have to persevere under the yoke of Trudeau, here in Canada. In all things, cling to the Lord.
Millions of jobs?
I didn’t either (mean offense). PawPaw Trump IS like a warrior, he takes endless abuse. If he had a weak persona that constantly second guessed and hand-wringed there’s no way he could survive the onslaught. Who is to say that outwardly coarse men are necessarily less spiritual?
The God who made lovely flowers also made nightmarish looking sea creatures. He knows the heart, and the end from the beginning.

I have thought and still am thinking about your words. I certainly don't want to offend anyone and most certainly don't want to blaspheme God Himself. As I said, as a member of a military family, I pray this psalm often for my many loved ones, family and friends, in danger. I never once thought of it as blasphemy but as hope in the Lord's protection. Also, to be honest, some of those I pray this psalm for are right up there on the DJT scale when it comes to secular views and actions. Again, every military person I know, and that's a lot of them, want and need Trump to be president. It has gotten very bad for them under Bama.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments.

Oh, amen and amen and amen. I do believe that so. He knows the heart, the soul, the end from the beginning, and I believe delights in using those the so-called godly would overlook. Either way, I trust the Lord's will and that He alone will make sense of all this for all of us. And may He have mercy on us all.
It’s jarring to see Trump’s name in there, sorry. This is the Psalm Satan quoted—basely and misleadingly—to Jesus in the desert:
If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written,
He will command his angels concerning you,
to guard you,
and
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
Jesus simply replied, “It is said, You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.
Note what Satan left out:
“You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.”
Only Jesus can fulfill that so, no, Trump doesn’t fit in there any more than you or I do.
But for the here and now? PawPaw Trump for President 2016!
