Psalms 91:5-8 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

These are all so many examples in which distinguishing grace shall manifest covenant-promises. But what I would very particularly request the Reader to remark with me, as eminently fulfilled in the person of Jesus, is, the preservation from the pestilence of darkness, and the destruction of the noon day. How lovely and truly blessed is it to see that though Christ took upon him our nature, he took none of the corruptions of that nature. His holy soul was not susceptible of the impression of the pestilence of sin, nor the defilement of our fallen nature. Such an High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. Reader, this is the sweet consolatory thought of the soul, when pleading for salvation, in and through the Redeemer's righteousness. Hebrews 7:26.

Psalms 91:5-8

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
