The Lord Will

Psalm 91:5

“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;”

KJV

Read in Psalm 91

Meaning

Within “Protection from surrounding dangers,” verse 5 answers both nighttime terror and daytime attack with freedom from dominating fear; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 91:5 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 — answers both nighttime terror and daytime attack with freedom from dominating fear — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 91.
