Bible Comments

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy feet shall not stumble - (Psalms 91:11-12; Proverbs 10:9.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Whether in motion or at rest, or at business or at leisure, by day or by night, all shall go well with thee, or at least shall ultimately end so (Romans 8:28). The foot not stumbling means that thou shalt not fall into the temptations which the world, the flesh, and Satan present in one's way to heaven. Thy sleep shall be sweet after a faithful discharge of duty. Thou shalt not be afraid through stings of conscience, or fear of enemies, or because of anxious cares; because confidence in the Lord and a good conscience will banish all fears (Proverbs 3:26).
