Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. Because thou hast made the Lord ] Seeing thou hast taken Jehovah, the Most High, for thy portion and thy refuge, no evil shall come nigh thy dwelling; thou shalt be safe in thy soul, body, household, and property, ver. 10. Every pious man may expect such protection from his God and Father.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-16 - Whatever happens, nothing shall hurt the believer; though trouble an affliction befal, it shall come, not for his hurt, but for good, thoug for the present it be not joyous but grievous. Those who rightly know God, will set their love upon him. They by prayer constantly call upo him. His promise is, that he will in due time deliver the believer ou of trouble, and in the mean time be with him in trouble. The Lord wil manage all his worldly concerns, and preserve his life on earth, s long as it shall be good for him. For encouragement in this he look unto Jesus. He shall live long enough; till he has done the work he wa sent into this world for, and is ready for heaven. Who would wish to live a day longer than God has some work to do, either by him or upo him? A man may die young, yet be satisfied with living. But a wicke man is not satisfied even with long life. At length the believer' conflict ends; he has done for ever with trouble, sin, and temptation _________________________________________________
