Because you have made the Lord your refuge,
the Most High your dwelling-place,
no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
This is not true.
Evil comes to the righteous, the godly are scourged, the blessed of God have been tortured and killed in their millions.
Later in the same psalm it is written, "When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honour them."
God is with us in trouble. God mourns with us. If we seek God there is an opportunity to redeem our troubles through love.
Psalm 91
