Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day. In this verse the attacks meant are those of human enemies, whether by a surprise at night or an open assault in the day. In Psalms 91:6 the attacks are those of divinely-sent sicknesses. The arrow is the enemy. Psalms 58:7; Proverbs 3:23-26 is plainly parallel, and probably is drawn from this psalm (cf. Psalms 91:11-12 here; Job 15:21; Job 21:9; Song of Solomon 3:8).
