James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 91:1

CONTENTS Under several very striking similitudes, the Person of Christ and his redemption work are pointed out. This Psalm is the more remarkable in that the accursed enemy himself, in his temptations of Christ, hesitated not to make quotations from it, as referring to Christ. Psalms 91:1 I venture to believe that the Holy Ghost had no other object in view, in dictating this Psalm, than to refer the whole of what is here said to the person of Christ, as the great Head and Surety of his people;... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 91:5-8

These are all so many examples in which distinguishing grace shall manifest covenant-promises. But what I would very particularly request the Reader to remark with me, as eminently fulfilled in the person of Jesus, is, the preservation from the pestilence of darkness, and the destruction of the noon day. How lovely and truly blessed is it to see that though Christ took upon him our nature, he took none of the corruptions of that nature. His holy soul was not susceptible of the impression of the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 91:11-13

Surely we must be senseless indeed, if we do not view Christ here, when the devil himself hesitated not to acknowledge it. Turn, Reader, to the subject of thy Redeemer's temptation, and observe how Christ converted what Satan meant as the trial of his faith into the very source of his thanksgiving and joy; Matthew 4:7 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 91:14-16

This is a beautiful repetition of what had been said before. Jesus had engaged his whole heart and soul in the service of Jehovah, for his Father's glory and the everlasting welfare of his church and people: and Jehovah had promised, that, when he had made his soul an offering for sin, he should see of the travail of his soul, and be satisfied. Isaiah 53:10-11 . Here, therefore, the sum and substance of these promises are given. Here the Lord promiseth to be faithful, and we may, I think,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 91:16

REFLECTIONS BLESSED Jesus! how sweet to my soul is it to behold all these gracious promises of God the Father made over to thee, and for the security of thy person and work, as the great Head of thy church and people? Truly was it said of thee, thou holy Lord, that thou didst set thy love upon thy Father. For though thy love to thy church was such that thou gavest thyself for it, an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet smelling savour, yet it was thy love to thy Father which prompted... read more
