A common misinterpretation treats this as a blanket guarantee of invincibility against all physical harm, harm, encouraging believers to test God through reckless actions, as Satan did when quoting it to tempt Jesus to jump from the temple (Matthew 4:6), ignoring the psalm's context of humble dependence on God rather than presumption, and the Bible's broader allowance for trials and suffering even among the righteous.
Psalms 91:12
King James Version (1769)
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
This verse promises divine protection for those who trust in God, depicting angels as guardians who will lift believers up in their hands to prevent even minor harms like stumbling over a stone, underscoring the comprehensive care and security available to the faithful who make the Lord their refuge as described in the surrounding psalm.
