#BibleStudy (#VerseByVerse #WordByWord) of #Psalm91 - the Scripture that @JoeBiden uses to Encourage voters to #Endure the onslaught of the #GunLobby | @theBibleHub @CopelandNetwork

In a possibly-inappropriate ending of his press-conference encouraging us to vote for leaders who will optimize gun-control in America, President Joe Biden quotes a church-hymn that's based on the 91st Psalm. Though the hymn claims that God will strengthen 'those who seek righteousness' (or maybe he'll strengthen "his people," I'm not sure if the lyrics specify who "you" are that he'll "raise you up"), I think the hymn's purpose is largely to encourage you to #endure.

President Joe cites that encouragement at the end of a video you can access (cued up) through the bold links below; but first I want to study that word's roots ...

The word "Endure" is built on ancient words that mean "to be Firm-, Solid-, Steadfast-, Hard Against."

GodTube explains that the hymn is also based on Exodus 19 & Matthew 13,

... but I'll start with a study of the words from Psalm 91 (the Hebrew word-for-word translation from BibleHub's interlinear publication ... some of the posts I link-to will cite the #StrongsHebrew-listings of the words, but most of them won't (but you can look-up the entries here)):
