psalm-91:6-9

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 91:1-8

In these verses we have, I. A great truth laid down in general, That all those who live a life of communion with God are constantly safe under his protection, and may therefore preserve a holy serenity and security of mind at all times (Ps. 91:1): He that dwells, that sits down, in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty; he that by faith chooses God for his guardian shall find all that in him which he needs or can desire. Note, 1. It is the character of... read more

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 91:6

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness ,.... Some think, and not without cause, that what is figuratively expressed in the preceding verse is here explained; and, indeed, the "pestilence" may well be called the "terror by night": the name of the plague, at a distance, is terrible; the near approach of it is more so; when it enters a country, city, or town, what fleeing is there from it? and in the night season it is more dreadful than in the day; not only to think of it in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:7

A thousand shall fall at thy side ,.... The left side, as the Targum; so the Arabic version, and Jarchi and Kimchi; which sense the opposition and distinction in the next clause direct unto: this is not to be understood of falling in battle, as some interpret it, but by the pestilence before spoken of: and ten thousand at thy right hand ; which shows both the great devastation made by the plague where it comes, and the special care and providence of God in preserving his people from it;... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:8

Only with thine eyes shall thou behold ,.... The flying arrow, the walking pestilence, and wasting destruction, and the great devastations made by it: and see the reward of the wicked ; the vengeance of God upon them, and this as a just punishment for their sins; not looking upon it with delight and pleasure, rejoicing in the misery of their fellow creatures, any otherwise than as the glory of divine justice is displayed in it; see Psalm 52:6 , the pestilence is always threatened, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:9

Because thou hast made the Lord which is my refuge ,.... So the words, according to Kimchi, also are directed to the good man; giving the reason of his safety, because he trusts in the Lord, and puts himself under his protection: but they should rather be rendered, and the accents require such a reading, "because thou, Lord, art my refuge" F20 כי אתה יהוה מחסי "quniam tu Domine spes mea", Pagninus, Montanus, Musculus; "nam tu O Jehova es receptus meus", Cocceius; so Piscator;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:6

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday - The rabbins supposed that the empire of death was under two demons, one of which ruled by day, the other by night. The Vulgate and Septuagint have - the noonday devil. The ancients thought that there were some demons who had the power to injure particularly at noonday. To this Theocritus refers, Id. 1: ver. 15: - Ου θεμις, ω ποιμαν, το μεσαμβρινον, ου θεμις αμμινπ Συρισδεν· τον Πανα... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:7

A thousand shall fall at thy side - Calmet thinks this place should be translated thus: "A thousand enemies may fall upon thee on one side, and ten thousand may fall upon thee on thy right hand: but they shall not come nigh thee to take away thy life." It is a promise of perfect protection, and the utmost safety. read more

Because thou hast made the Lord - Seeing thou hast taken Jehovah, the Most High, for thy portion and thy refuge, no evil shall come nigh thy dwelling; thou shalt be safe in thy soul, body, household, and property, Psalm 91:10 . Every pious man may expect such protection from his God and Father. read more
