Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 91:14

DELIVERANCE AND LONGEVITY PROMISED"Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble:I will deliver him, and honor him.With long life will I satisfy him,And show him my salvation."God Himself is the speaker in these verses; and they convey very rich and precious promises for the faithful servant of God.This passage states that because one loves God and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 91:1

Psalms 91:0. The state of the godly: their safety: their habitation: their servants: their friend; with the effects of them all. THIS psalm has no title, and therefore is likely to be by the same author with the foregoing; but this is still more probable from the subject of it: for as the 90th psalm appears calculated for the use of those who were to die in the wilderness, so the present seems evidently designed for those who were to survive this threatened devastation, and whom therefore he... read more

Psalms 91:4. His truth— Meaning, no doubt, that gracious promise, Numbers 14:31. But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in; and they shall know the land which ye have despised; whereas of the others their doom is repeated in the following verse: Your carcases shall fall in the wilderness. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 91:5-8

Psalms 91:5-8. Thou shalt not be afraid— The younger ones were to rest secure in the divine promise for protection. Amid the daily spectacles of mortality to which they were soon to be accustomed, it is added, Psalms 91:8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, &c. i.e. "Thou shalt only have the discomfort of seeing those who may be dear to thee fall by their own guilt, and the just sentence passed upon them for their wicked murmurings and disobedience." read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 91:11-13

Psalms 91:11-13. He shall give his angels charge, &c.— These verses point out still more plainly the occasion of this psalm. For as the people were not only exposed to diseases in the wilderness, but also to the incursions of wild beasts, and particularly the venomous bite of serpents, he tells them, that God would protect them from all these dangers, by giving his angels charge over them, to keep them in all their ways; and Psalms 91:13. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder, &c.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 91:16

Psalms 91:16. With long life will I satisfy, &c.— If we can doubt what is here meant by long life, we may find it well explained to us, Psalms 21:4. He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long life, even for ever and ever. As for the term salvation, let us hear Le Clerc's comment upon the place: "If you interpret this (says he,) in the Christian way, it will be eternal salvation;" but then he adds, But it should first be shewn, that this salvation was clearly revealed, before it be... read more
