Psalm 91:2

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 91:1-16

This psalm is one of the greatest possessions of the saints. It is a great song of the safety of such as put their trust in Jehovah, and contains the Divine assurance of such faith as fruitful. Very little of exposition is necessary. There is a change in the use of pronouns from first to second to third at the close; which, although it has created some sense of difficulty, is yet a key to the psalm for purposes analysis. Let us set out the scheme of the psalm round these changes, leaving its... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

The Psalm of Security Psalms 91:1-16 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It seems to us that the last 4 verses of the 90th Psalm are a fitting introduction or prelude to the glorious security of the believer in the 91st Psalm. We, therefore, will begin with the fourfold prayer of Psalms 90:1-17 in Psalms 90:14-17 . 1. The first prayer. "O satisfy us early with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days." Here is a noble and earnest petition. The one who is saved late in life cannot rejoice and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 91:1-16

INTRODUCTIONThere is no title prefixed to this Psalm. We know not who is the author of it. The conjecture, which has been made by some, that it was written by Moses, is very inadequately sustained. Neither do we know the time or occasion of its composition. The Psalm is general in its character, and applies to the whole Church.A remarkable feature of the Psalm is the frequent change of persons, from which some have inferred that it was composed for singing by alternate choirs. The explanation... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 91:1-2

Psalms 91:1-2 Three parties speak in this Psalm: the witness for God, the brother in peril, and God Himself. I. The witness for God, the sympathising friend of the party exposed to danger, speaking from his own experience, declares generally, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalms 91:1 , and see also Psalms 91:9 ). Three lessons are taught in that inner school: (1) That God is true, true to Himself and true to you. (2) In... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 91:1-16

This psalm is sent down to us as an ode of praise by David, written when the pestilence was stayed. The Targum considers it as a dialogue between David and Solomon, giving the Almighty the final word. But whoever was the author, the sublime and beautiful are joined in the composition. Like the pectoral of the highpriest, it is studded with gems of logic, and brilliants of rhetoric. The views of a protecting providence are set forth to perfection, and built on facts in the extraordinary... read more
