Psalm 91
Psalm 91
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Commentary · verses 1-2
3For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Commentary · verses 3-4
God would protect with His "pinions." Pinion meant "feather, or wing of a bird."
God's Truth protects. Truth is facts that create; a right WHAT with a right HOW/WHY.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Commentary · verses 5-7
When God was your Protector, the affliction around you would not go near you. However, the righteous would be afflicted, but the righteous would continue to be righteous in the face of affliction because God was their Protector.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Commentary · verse 8
Reward meant to recompense good or bad. Reward was not only something the good receive. Everyone will be given exactly what they deserve.
9For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Commentary · verses 9-10
No evil would "befall" God. "Befall" meant "to meet, encounter, approach."
11For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Commentary · verses 11-12
Angels were protectors. The devil quoted this to Jesus during Jesus' temptation: Matthew 4:6 and Luke 4:10-11.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Can you say that God is your Protector and the One you trust in?
