Psalm 91:10-11

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 91:10

There shall no evil befall thee ,.... The evil of sin cleaves to the best of saints, the evil of temptations besets them, and the evil of afflictions comes upon them, as chastisements from the Lord; for they must expect to receive evil, in this sense, as well as good, from his hands; but the evil of punishment never touches them; and therefore, when any public calamity befalls them in common with others, yet not as an evil of punishment; it is not an evil to them, it is for their good: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:11

For he shall give his angels charge over thee ,.... Created spirits, so called, made by the Lord, and are at his command; who are ministering spirits to his people, who encamp about them, and are concerned in the preservation of them; they being committed to their care and charge by him who is Lord of heaven and earth: Satan applied this passage to Christ, Matthew 4:6 , nor did our Lord object to the application of it; and it can hardly be thought that he would have ventured to have done... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:11

He shall give his angels charge over thee - Evil spirits may attempt to injure thee; but they shall not be able. The angels of God shall have an especial charge to accompany, defend, and preserve thee; and against their power, the influence of evil spirits cannot prevail. These will, when necessary, turn thy steps out of the wag of danger; ward it off when it comes in thy ordinary path; suggest to thy mind prudent counsels, profitable designs, and pious purposes; and thus minister to thee as... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:11

Verse 11 11For he has given his angels charge concerning thee. This is added by the Psalmist expressly with the view of obviating any fears which might arise from our infirmity; so that we cannot fail to be struck with the benignant condescension of God in thus not only forgiving our diffidence, but proposing the means by which it may be best removed. Does he exhibit himself to us as a fortress and shield, proffer the shadow of his protection, make himself known to us as a habitation in which... 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 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 91:10

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. The faithful man is to be preserved from evil of every kind. His very "dwelling" is to be protected so that his family may suffer no hurt. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:11

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways (comp. Psalms 34:7 ). The faithful are under the constant care of angels ( Hebrews 1:14 ), who guide them and direct them perpetually. Satan made a crafty use of this promise when he tempted our Lord ( Matthew 4:6 ; Luke 4:10 , Luke 4:11 ). No doubt it applies to him pre-eminently, as the specially "Faithful One." read more
