Maybe a more accurate title for this particular post would be "Why Psalm 91 works", but as we shall see it`s because of the names of God.

In the first two verses of PS 91 four names of God are used.

V1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high (el-yone) shall abide under the shadow of the almighty (shadday).

V2 I will say of the LORD (Yahweh), He is my refuge and my fortress: my God (el-o-heem) In him will I trust.

Now the blessed part or why the Ps works.

V14 Because he has set his love upon me,therefore I will deliver him: I will set him on high, (why) because he hath known my name.

Hos 4:6 says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..

Since we view Ps91 as our " assurance policy" I believe HEF phrased it and we view it as our protection could not This verse accurately describe that if we don't know his names that we could be destroyed?

One of the most sober versus in the whole bible to me is Jesus saying Mat 7:23 "And then I will profess unto them I never knew you". My question is can we know Him if we don't know and understand all His names and there meanings?

Ok so all you great theologians out there, William,Hombre,James, Alanbook or whomever else expound on the names of the Lord so we can all understand there meanings and know why we trust Him in various situations because His name says who He is.
