Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 91:4

Psalms THE SHELTERING WING Psa_91:4 . We remember the magnificent image in Moses’ song, of God’s protection and guidance as that of the eagle who stirred up his nest, and hovered over the young with his wings, and bore them on his pinions. That passage may possibly have touched the imagination of this psalmist, when he here employs the same general metaphor, but with a distinct and significant difference in its application. In the former image the main idea is that of training and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

Security in Trusting the Lord Psalms 91:1-16 In harmony with the new light cast upon it by the Revised Version, this psalm has been divided as follows: Psalms 91:1-2 , a soliloquy in which the believer states the blessedness of dwelling under God’s sheltering care, and encourages his heart to exercise personal faith; Psalms 91:3-8 , the assurance of a chorus of voices, which emphasize the safety of those who believe; Psalms 91:9 a, an exclamation in which the believer again expresses his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 91:1-16

This psalm is one of the greatest possessions of the saints. It is a great song of the safety of such as put their trust in Jehovah, and contains the Divine assurance of such faith as fruitful. Very little of exposition is necessary. There is a change in the use of pronouns from first to second to third at the close; which, although it has created some sense of difficulty, is yet a key to the psalm for purposes analysis. Let us set out the scheme of the psalm round these changes, leaving its... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

The Psalm of Security Psalms 91:1-16 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It seems to us that the last 4 verses of the 90th Psalm are a fitting introduction or prelude to the glorious security of the believer in the 91st Psalm. We, therefore, will begin with the fourfold prayer of Psalms 90:1-17 in Psalms 90:14-17 . 1. The first prayer. "O satisfy us early with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days." Here is a noble and earnest petition. The one who is saved late in life cannot rejoice and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

INTRODUCTIONThere is no title prefixed to this Psalm. We know not who is the author of it. The conjecture, which has been made by some, that it was written by Moses, is very inadequately sustained. Neither do we know the time or occasion of its composition. The Psalm is general in its character, and applies to the whole Church.A remarkable feature of the Psalm is the frequent change of persons, from which some have inferred that it was composed for singing by alternate choirs. The explanation... read more
