The believer is the figurative bird: Satan is "the fowler." God is the Deliverer of His Christ; then God in Christ is the Deliverer of Christ's people (Psalms 124:7; 2 Timothy 2:26).
And from the noisome pestilence. Hengstenberg translates, 'from the pestilence of wickednesses;' i:e., from the pestilential ruin which the mass of wickednesses threatens. The connection with "the fowler," Satan, and the image carried on in Psalms 91:4-5, of God like a mother-bird (Deuteronomy 32:11) covering her young with her "feathers," and under her "wings," from the "arrow," prove that all attacks of evil, whether physical or spiritual evil, are meant by 'the destructive pestilence.'

They take the similar Hebrew for word instead of pestilence х daabaar (H1697), instead of deber (H1698)]
