Wesley's Explanatory Notes
Psalms 91
Pestilence - From the pestilence, which like a fowler's snare takes men suddenly and unexpectedly.
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.
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 - This and the two following verses are the words of God.
