Psalm 91:2

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 91:1-16

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:2

Praise. Literally, "to confess," (Haydock) as we must be free from sin before we can worthily proclaim God's praises. (Eusebius) (St. Jerome) --- But here to confess means to praise, (Calmet) or give thanks. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 91:1-8

1-8 He that by faith chooses God for his protector, shall find all in him that he needs or can desire. And those who have found the comfort of making the Lord their refuge, cannot but desire that others may do so. The spiritual life is protected by Divine grace from the temptations of Satan, which are as the snares of the fowler, and from the contagion of sin, which is a noisome pestilence. Great security is promised to believers in the midst of danger. Wisdom shall keep them from being afraid... 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

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
