Psalm 91:15

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:15

The response of God to his people. I. WHAT THIS RESPONSE IS . 1 . That God will answer prayer. But on this, note: 2 . He will be with them in trouble. God is always with us; but in our trouble he is more especially with us. This is shown sometimes by his providential help, or by his grace sustaining us . 3 . He will deliver and honour. See this in such histories as that of Joseph. II. WHAT FOLLOWS FROM IT . That to the man of God the following... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 91:15-16

God's presence in time of trouble. "I will be with him in trouble." Illustrate by presence of a friend in the time of sickness and distress. That friend may be unable to help, and yet the best of help comes from that friendly presence. If God is with us in trouble, we are sure he can help and deliver. If he does not, it can only be because he is doing kinder things for us, by letting the trouble stay. The strain of feeling alone in time of trouble may be illustrated by a lonely walk... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 91:14-16

Psalms 91:14-16. Because he hath set his love upon me In the former part of the Psalm the prophet had spoken in his own person; but here God himself is introduced as the speaker, confirming the preceding promises, and giving an account of the reasons of his singular care of all that truly believe and trust in him. Therefore will I deliver him I will abundantly recompense his love with my favour and blessing. I will set him on high In a high and safe place, where no evil can reach him; ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

Psalms 9:01God our protectorThis psalm appears to have been used in temple worship in a time of danger. A lone singer opens with a statement of the security and protection enjoyed by those who trust in God and live their lives constantly in God’s presence (1-2).The singer then addresses his remarks directly to such believers. God will protect them from dangers, both seen and unseen, both by day and by night. Neither cruel enemies nor deadly diseases will overcome them. God will guard their... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 91:1-16

Psalms 91This wisdom psalm focuses on security in life, an idea present in Psalms 90. The writer knew that God provides security. It is a psalm for situations involving danger, exposure, or vulnerability."This remarkable psalm speaks with great specificity, and yet with a kind of porousness, so that the language is enormously open to each one’s particular experience. Its tone is somewhat instructional, as though reassuring someone else who is unsure. Yet the assurance is not didactic, but... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 91:14-16

3. The assurance God provides 91:14-16The writer recorded God’s promise to deliver those who know and love Him. He will eventually answer the cries for help that His people voice (cf. Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13). He will not abandon them in their distresses (cf. Joshua 1:9; Matthew 28:20). The promises of rescue and honor normally find fulfillment in this life, but they always do the other side of the grave. God usually blesses people who follow His will by allowing them to live longer.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:1-16

This Ps. describes the safety of those who trust in God, and may have a special reference to the nation of Israel at a time when other nations were involved in calamity. The dangers that threatened Babylon towards the end of the exile have been suggested as a probable occasion for it. The Psalmist sometimes speaks in the first person (Psalms 91:1-2, Psalms 91:9), and sometimes addresses his promises to the godly man, or to the nation, in the second person (Psalms 91:3-8, Psalms 91:9-13). God... read more
