The Lord Will

Psalm 91:6

“Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 91

Meaning

Within “Protection from surrounding dangers,” verse 6 extends the protection imagery to disease and destruction that move unseen by night or openly at noon; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 91:6 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 — extends the protection imagery to disease and destruction that move unseen by night or openly at noon — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 91.
