Significance: Satan quotes Scripture but distorts its meaning, ripping it from context. Psalm 91 promises protection for the faithful in God's service, not license for presumptuous testing of God. This shows the critical importance of proper hermeneutics - correct words wrongly applied lead to false conclusions. Even the devil can quote Scripture; wisdom lies in right interpretation and application.
