Psalm 91:15

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 91:1-16

God's Inner Circle Psalms 91:1 This wonderful Psalm has always been a favourite with the mystic and quietist. For it expresses what we may call the Beatitude of the Inner Circle. Most religions have distinguished carefully between the rank and file of the faithful, and that select company of initiates who taste the hidden wisdom and have access to the secret shrine. From the nature of the case some such distinction exists even in the kingdom of heaven. Christ Himself allowed a difference... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

Psalms 91:1-16THE solemn sadness of Psalms 90:1-17 is set in strong relief by the sunny brightness of this song of happy, perfect trust in the Divine protection. The juxtaposition is, however, probably due to the verbal coincidence of the same expression being used in both psalms in reference to God. In Psalms 90:1 and in Psalms 91:9, the somewhat unusual designation "dwelling place" is applied to Him. and the thought conveyed in it runs through the whole of this psalm.An outstanding... read more

Psalms 91:0 Christ, the Second Man 1. In dependence (Psalms 91:1-2 ) 2. In security (Psalms 91:3-8 ) 3. His triumph and exaltation (Psalms 91:9-16 ) This Psalm has no inscription. Its author is unknown, but we know it is the testimony of the Spirit of God concerning the second Man, our Lord. Satan knew this also for he quoted this Psalm to our Lord in Matthew 4:1-25 , omitting the words “in all thy ways” (Psalms 91:11-12 and Matthew 4:6 ). It is the Psalm God’s people love to read on... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 91:14-16

This is a beautiful repetition of what had been said before. Jesus had engaged his whole heart and soul in the service of Jehovah, for his Father's glory and the everlasting welfare of his church and people: and Jehovah had promised, that, when he had made his soul an offering for sin, he should see of the travail of his soul, and be satisfied. Isaiah 53:10-11 . Here, therefore, the sum and substance of these promises are given. Here the Lord promiseth to be faithful, and we may, I think,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:15

Well treated. Or affected. (Worthington) --- Bene patientes, Greek: eupathountes, "flourishing," (Grotius) tranquil, (St. Augustine) or in a prosperous condition. (Berthier) --- Erasmus, to shew the utility of consulting the originals, informs us, what a multiplicity of authors he consulted in vain, to know the import of this word. (Amama) --- "They shall be fat and covered with leaves," (St. Jerome) alluding to the aforesaid comparison. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:9-16

9-16 Whatever happens, nothing shall hurt the believer; though trouble and affliction befal, it shall come, not for his hurt, but for good, though for the present it be not joyous but grievous. Those who rightly know God, will set their love upon him. They by prayer constantly call upon him. His promise is, that he will in due time deliver the believer out of trouble, and in the mean time be with him in trouble. The Lord will manage all his worldly concerns, and preserve his life on earth, so... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 91:1-16

The Safety of the Believers in Every Emergency. The author of this psalm is not mentioned in the Bible, but the contents and the spirit of the hymn suggest the name of David, the pestilence referred to probably being that described 2 Samuel 24. v. 1. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, sheltered in the fellowship of God by faith, abiding secure from all assaults, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, safe under the protection of His almighty wings. v. 2. I will... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 91:15-16

Psalms WHAT GOD WILL DO FOR US Psa_91:15 - Psa_91:16 . When considering the previous verses of this psalm, I pointed out that at its close we have God’s own voice coming in to confirm and expand the promises which, in the earlier portion of it, have been made in His name to the devout heart. The words which we have now to consider cover the whole range of human life and need, and may be regarded as being a picture of the sure and blessed consequences of keeping our hearts fixed upon our... read more
