He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
*He* — He that makes God his habitation and refuge.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
*Pestilence* — From the pestilence, which like a fowler's snare takes men suddenly and unexpectedly.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
*By night* — When evil accidents are most terrible and least avoidable.
*Arrow* — The pestilence, or any such destructive calamity; such are frequently called God's arrows.
*By day* — Thou shalt be kept from secret and open mischiefs.

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
*Darkness* — Invisibly, so that we can neither foresee nor prevent it.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
*Bear thee* — Sustain or uphold thee in thy goings, as we do a child.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
*The lion* — Shall lie prostrate at thy feet, and thou shalt securely put thy feet upon his neck.
*Dragon* — By which he understands all pernicious creatures, though never so strong, and all sorts of enemies.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
*Because* — This and the two following verses are the words of God.
