Psalms 91:5 - Exposition

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night . Robbers constituted the chief "terror by night" (see Job 24:14-16 ; Jeremiah 49:9 ; Obadiah 1:5 ); but night attacks on the part of a foreign enemy were not uncommon (So Psalms 3:8 ; Isaiah 15:1 ). Nor for the arrow that fleth by day. Open war is probably intended, not sirocco, or pestilence, or "the arrows of the Almighty" ( Job 6:4 ). The man who trusts in God will be specially protected in the peril of battle.
