Psalm 91:14

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 91:9-16

Here are more promises to the same purport with those in the Ps. 91:1-8, and they are exceedingly great and precious, and sure to all the seed. I. The psalmist assures believers of divine protection, from his own experience; and that which he says is the word of God, and what we may rely upon. Observe, 1. The character of those who shall have the benefit and comfort of these promises; it is much the same with that, Ps. 91:1. They are such as make the Most High their habitation (Ps. 91:9), as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:14

Because he hath set his love upon me ,.... These are the words of God himself; and, according to Aben Ezra, are directed to the angels, describing the good man, and making promises to him; and in this clause he is represented as one that had "set his love" upon the Lord, being first loved by the Lord, and having the grace of love wrought in his heart by him: the phrase denotes the strength of his affection to God, and the sincerity of it; its singularity, being placed alone on him, and the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:14

Because he hath set his love upon me - Here the Most High is introduced as confirming the word of his servant. He has fixed his love - his heart and soul, on me. Therefore will I deliver him - I will save him in all troubles, temptations, and evils of every kind. I will set him on high - I will place him out of the reach of all his enemies. I will honor and ennoble him, because he hath known my name - because he has loved, honored, and served me, and rendered me that worship which is... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:14

Verse 14 14.Because he hath trusted in me, I will deliver him. It may prevent any feeling of disgust or weariness under the repetition and enlargement of the Psalmist upon his present subject, to remember, that, as I have already observed, he is influenced in this by a due consideration of our weakness, ever indisposed, as we are upon the approach of danger, to exercise a due reliance upon the providence of God. With this view he now introduces God himself as speaking, and confirming by his own... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

The subject is the security of the man who thoroughly trusts in God. This subject is worked out by an "antiphonal arrangement" (Cheyne)—the first speaker delivering Psalms 90:1 , Psalms 90:2 ; the second, Psalms 90:3 , Psalms 90:4 ; then the first responding with Psalms 90:5-8 ; and again the second with Psalms 90:9-13 . In conclusion, a third speaker, making himself the mouthpiece of Jehovah, crowns all by declaring the blessings which God himself will bestow upon his faithful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

The man that trusts in God. I. WE HAVE HIS DESCRIPTION . 1 . He dwells in the secret place , etc. 2 . He abides under the shadow of the Almighty . II. HIS CONFESSION OF FAITH ( Psalms 91:2 .) The Lord is his Refuge, Fortress, the Joy of his soul, his God, his constant Confidence. III. HIS COMMENDATION OF GOD TO OTHERS . ( Psalms 91:3-13 .) 1 . As a sure Deliverer from the hidden foe and from the devouring pestilence. 2 . As... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:14

Because he hath set his love upon me (see Deuteronomy 7:7 ; Deuteronomy 10:15 ). "By a sudden and effective transition," as Professor Cheyne remarks, "Jehovah becomes the speaker" of the concluding strophe. It is not enough that the faithful should encourage each other by their anticipations of God's coming mercies, God himself now speaks by the mouth of his prophet, and makes promises in his own Person. I will deliver him . A ratification of Psalms 91:3 , Psalms 91:7 , Psalms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:14

Reasons in man for the Divine favour. "Because he hath set his love upon me." This verse begins what may be regarded as a poetical setting of the answer which God gives to the fully trusting soul. "God himself comes forward to establish the faith of his servant, writes deeper in the soul so great a consolation, and confirms the testimony of his servant. 'He hath set his love upon me; he knoweth my name; he calleth upon me.' These are the marks of a true servant of God." It has been noticed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:14-15

The reward of trust in God. "Because he hath 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 honour him." I. WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES THAT GOD VALUES MOST IN CHARACTER ? 1 . The knowledge of his Name ; i.e. of his nature and character, now revealed to us more fully than then, in the Person and work of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:14-16

The beloved of the Lord. The marks and tokens of these are set forth here. I. THEY HAVE SET THEIR LOVE UPON THE LORD . Their hearts have turned to him, away from sin, and now are "set," firmly fixed, upon him. Numbers of people feel a passing affection for Christ; their hearts burn within them for a while; but the fire soon dies down and out. But these have set their love, not their mere thought or approval, upon him. II. THEY HAVE KNOWN HIS NAME . This is... read more
