11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
11 He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go.
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
7 God's angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
7 For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
(Read Psalm 34:1-10)
If we hope to spend eternity in praising God, it is fit that we should spend much of our time here in this work. He never said to any one, Seek ye me in vain. David's prayers helped to silence his fears; many besides him have looked unto the Lord by faith and prayer, and it has wonderfully revived and comforted them. When we look to the world, we are perplexed, and at a loss. But on looking to Christ depends our whole salvation, and all things needful thereunto do so also. This poor man, whom no man looked upon with any respect, or looked after with any concern, was yet welcome to the throne of grace; the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The holy angels minister to the saints, and stand for them against the powers of darkness. All the glory be to the Lord of the angels. By taste and sight we both make discoveries, and have enjoyment; Taste and see God's goodness; take notice of it, and take the comfort of it. He makes all truly blessed that trust in him. As to the things of the other world, they shall have grace sufficient for the support of spiritual life. And as to this life, they shall have what is necessary from the hand of God. Paul had all, and abounded, because he was content, Philippians 4:11-18. Those who trust to themselves, and think their own efforts sufficient for them, shall want; but they shall be fed who trust in the Lord. Those shall not want, who with quietness work, and mind their own business.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 91:11
Commentary on Psalm 91:9-16
(Read Psalm 91:9-16)
Whatever happens, nothing shall hurt the believer; though trouble and affliction befal, it shall come, not for his hurt, but for good, though for the present it be not joyous but grievous. Those who rightly know God, will set their love upon him. They by prayer constantly call upon him. His promise is, that he will in due time deliver the believer out of trouble, and in the mean time be with him in trouble. The Lord will manage all his worldly concerns, and preserve his life on earth, so long as it shall be good for him. For encouragement in this he looks unto Jesus. He shall live long enough; till he has done the work he was sent into this world for, and is ready for heaven. Who would wish to live a day longer than God has some work to do, either by him or upon him? A man may die young, yet be satisfied with living. But a wicked man is not satisfied even with long life. At length the believer's conflict ends; he has done for ever with trouble, sin, and temptation.
