Psalm 91:7

“A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not approach you.” (NASB)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“A thousand may fall (naphal: fail, cast down, fall away, lie down, inferior, fall prostrate) at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not approach (nagash: be near, nigh, come near) you.”

SUMMARY

A thousand may lie down prostrate at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not be near to you.

MEDITATION

Oh the power that resides within those who trust in the LORD! All that is sent to destroy you and wield its weapon that is formed against you must lay face down at your side in submission! Do you understand this my friend? You are not some weakling that needs to wish harder that darkness would leave you alone. When your trust and hope is in the LORD, victory is sure – it is guaranteed by the Word of God! Do not fear! Stand tall, stand strong – in Christ, you are the victor!

I like how you brought up the point that it is conditional. This promise is for those who place their trust in the Lord. It is for them alone and doesn't just "happen". Christians need to know this!
