Chapter 91
The safety of those who have God for their refuge. (1-8) Their favour with Him. (9-16)

Verses 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 without cause, and faith shall keep
them from being unduly afraid. Whatever is done, our heavenly Father's will is done; and
we have no reason to fear. God's people shall see, not only God's promises fulfilled, but his
threatenings. Then let sinners come unto the Lord

Chapter Summary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 91
Jarchi and others think this psalm was written by Moses {m}, as was the preceding; but the
Targum ascribes it to David; as do the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and
Ethiopic versions; and very probably, as is generally thought, was penned by him on
occasion of the pestilence which came upon the people, through his numbering of them,
2Sa 24:1. The person all along spoken of, and to, according to the Targum, is Solomon his
son; and, according to the title in the Syriac version, King Hezekiah, so Theodoret, who is
called the son of David; neither of which are probable. Some think the Messiah is meant;
and that the psalm contains promises of protection and safety to him, as man, from
diseases, beasts of prey, evil spirits, and wicked men, under the care of angels; and this
not because that Satan has applied one of these promises to him, Mt 4:6, but because
