Psalms 91 — John Wesley
91:1
He - He that makes God his habitation and refuge.
91:3
Pestilence - From the pestilence, which like a fowler's snare takes men suddenly and unexpectedly.
91:5
By night - When evil accidents are most terrible and least avoidable. Arrow - The pestilence, or any such destructive calamity; such are frequently called God's arrows. By day - Thou shalt be kept from secret and open mischiefs.
91:6
Darkness - Invisibly, so that we can neither foresee nor prevent it.
91:12
Bear thee - Sustain or uphold thee in thy goings, as we do a child.
91:13
The lion - Shall lie prostrate at thy feet, and thou shalt securely put thy feet upon his neck. Dragon - By which he understands all pernicious creatures, though never so strong, and all sorts of enemies.
91:14
Because - This and the two following verses are the words of God.
