The Lord Will

Psalm 91:3

“Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 91

Meaning

Within “Protection from surrounding dangers,” verse 3 names hidden traps and deadly pestilence as dangers from which the psalmist expects divine rescue; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 91:3 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 91; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.

Reflection

Respond to the verse's specific emphasis — names hidden traps and deadly pestilence as dangers from which the psalmist expects divine rescue — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 91.
