<p>David is the most probable author; and the pestilence, mentioned in <a onclick="return mV('2Sa',24,'13-15');">2Sa 24:13-15</a>, the most probable of any special occasion to which the Psalm may refer. The changes of person allowable in poetry are here frequently made.

<p><b>1. dwelleth in the secret place</b>— (<a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',27,5);">Psa 27:5</a>; <a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',31,20);">31:20</a>) denotes nearness to God. Such as do so abide or lodge secure from assaults, and can well use the terms of trust in <a onclick="return mV('Psa',91,2);">Psa 91:2</a>.
|
|
<p id="Ps91_3"><b>3. snares...</b> [and] <b>...noisome pestilence</b>—literally, "plagues of mischiefs" (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',5,9);">Psa 5:9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',52,7);">52:7</a>), are expressive figures for various evils.
|

<p id="Ps91_4"><b>4.</b> For the first figure compare <a onclick="return mV('Deu',32,11);">Deu 32:11</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Mat',23,37);">Mat 23:37</a>.

<p id="Ps91_5"><b>5. terror</b>—or, what causes it (<a onclick="return mV('Pro',20,2);">Pro 20:2</a>).

<br><br><b>by night</b>—then aggravated.

<br><br><b>arrow</b>—that is, of enemies.
|
|
<p id="Ps91_7"><b>7, 8.</b> The security is more valuable, as being special, and, therefore, evidently of God; and while ten thousands of the wicked fall, the righteous are in such safety that they only see the calamity.
|
|
<p id="Ps91_9"><b>9-12.</b> This exemption from evil is the result of trust in God, who employs angels as ministering spirits (<a onclick="return mV('Hbr',1,14);">Hbr 1:14</a>).

<p id="Ps91_13"><b>13.</b> Even the fiercest, strongest, and most insidious animals may be trampled on with impunity.
