Psalm 91
Ps 91:1-16.
David is the most probable author; and the pestilence, mentioned in
2Sa 24:13-15,
the most probable of any special occasion to which the Psalm may refer.
The changes of person allowable in poetry are here frequently made.
1. dwelleth in the secret place--
(Ps 27:5; 31:20)
denotes nearness to God. Such as do so abide or lodge secure from
assaults, and can well use the terms of trust in
Ps 91:2.
3. snares . . . [and] . . . noisome pestilence--literally,
"plagues of mischiefs"
(Ps 5:9; 52:7),
are expressive figures for various evils.
4. For the first figure compare
De 32:11;
Mt 23:37.
buckler--literally, "surrounding"--that is, a kind of shield covering
all over.
5. terror--or, what causes it
(Pr 20:2).
by night--then aggravated.
arrow--that is, of enemies.
7, 8. The security is more valuable, as being special, and, therefore,
evidently of God; and while ten thousands of the wicked fall, the
righteous are in such safety that they only see the calamity.
9-12. This exemption from evil is the result of trust in God, who
employs angels as ministering spirits
(Heb 1:14).
13. Even the fiercest, strongest, and most insidious animals may be
trampled on with impunity.
14-16. God Himself speaks (compare
Ps 46:10; 75:2, 3).
All the terms to express safety and peace indicate the most undoubting
confidence (compare
Ps 18:2; 20:1; 22:5).
set his love--that of the most ardent kind.
16. show him--literally, "make him see"
(Ps 50:23;
Lu 2:30).
