Psalm 91:11
For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
9Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
Notice
Angels are given their charge by God, so the promise of being guarded directs your attention to the one who sends them.
