Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him (Psalm 91:14)

"Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Psalms 91:14‭-‬16 ESV

Psalm 91 tells us of all the harm that comes from Satan's traps, but we are encouraged with the promises of God.

You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
Psalms 91:8 ESV

Our heart breaks for the destruction we see around us (91:7).

For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Proverbs 5:3‭-‬4 ESV

God covers us like wings of a parent bird 91:4,
James 1:2, we have trials but count it as joy. We don't fear because we are with God (holding fast to his love).

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
Psalms 91:9‭-‬10 NLT

Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command H is angels concerning You '; and 'On  their  hands they will bear You up , S o that Y ou will not strike Your foot against a stone .'" Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test .'"  ... Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him. ... From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
