Psalm 91:9 through Psalm 91:16 (NIV)
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge—
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
VERSES 9-16
Whatever happens, nothing shall hurt the believer; though trouble and affliction
befall, it shall come, not for his hurt, but for good, though for the present it
be not joyous but grievous. Those who rightly know God, will set their love upon
him. They by prayer constantly call upon him. His promise is, that he will in
due time deliver the believer out of trouble, and in the mean time be with him
in trouble. The Lord will manage all his worldly concerns, and preserve his life
on earth, so long as it shall be good for him. For encouragement in this he
looks unto Jesus. He shall live long enough; till he has done the work he was
sent into this world for, and is ready for heaven. Who would wish to live a day
longer than God has some work to do, either by him or upon him? A man may die
young, yet be satisfied with living. But a wicked man is not satisfied even with
long life. At length the believer’s conflict ends; he has done for ever with
trouble, sin, and temptation.
