A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
A thousand shall fall at thy side - at thy left side; in contrast to ten thousand at thy right hand - (cf. Psalms 27:3; Psalms 32:6.)
But it shall not come nigh thee. While destruction prostrates thousands of the godless on every side, it never even comes near the godly.
