Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. I wrote this Christian poem in 2014, which is based on Psalm 91 verses 5 to 13. It seems that King David wrote this psalm in reflection on his own experience of physical attacks on himself over 3,000 years ago, when he was an Israeli shepherd and his time living in hiding from King Saul's attempts to kill him. Read the story in 1 Samuel chapters 19-24. My poem describes the effects of these different types of physical attacks, and compares them to spiritual or emotional attacks that many of us have experiences in our dealings with people, illness or accidents.
