In the biblical context, "evil" often refers to harm or calamity. The promise here is not necessarily the absence of challenges but the assurance that such challenges will not ultimately harm the believer's soul or eternal standing with God. This echoes the covenantal promises found throughout the Old Testament, where God assures His people of His protection if they remain faithful (<a href="/deuteronomy/31-6.htm">Deuteronomy 31:6</a>). Theologically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of the ultimate protection found in Christ, who delivers believers from the power of sin and death (<a href="/romans/8-38.htm">Romans 8:38-39</a>).<p><b>no plague will approach your tent</b><br>In ancient times, a "tent" symbolized one's dwelling or household. The reference to "plague" would have been particularly poignant to the original audience, who were familiar with the plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7-12) and other pestilences that could devastate communities. This promise of protection from plagues can be seen as a continuation of God's covenantal faithfulness, as He protected the Israelites during the Passover (<a href="/exodus/12-13.htm">Exodus 12:13</a>). In a broader spiritual sense, this can be interpreted as God's protection over the believer's life and family, ensuring that spiritual harm does not come near. This assurance is mirrored in the New Testament, where believers are promised peace and protection through faith in Christ (<a href="/philippians/4-7.htm">Philippians 4:7</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to Moses or David, the psalmist is a figure of faith and trust in God's protection.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_believer.htm">The Believer</a></b><br>The individual who places their trust in God, seeking refuge and protection under His care.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tent.htm">The Tent</a></b><br>Symbolic of the believer's dwelling place or life, representing personal and familial security.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/evil_and_plague.htm">Evil and Plague</a></b><br>Representations of harm, danger, and adversity that threaten the believer's peace and safety.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_protection.htm">God's Protection</a></b><br>The overarching theme of divine safeguarding against physical and spiritual threats.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_assurance.htm">Divine Assurance</a></b><br>Believers can rest in the assurance that God is their protector, shielding them from harm.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_shelter.htm">Spiritual Shelter</a></b><br>The "tent" symbolizes a place of spiritual refuge where God's presence dwells with the believer.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_over_fear.htm">Faith Over Fear</a></b><br>Trusting in God's promises allows believers to live without fear of evil or adversity.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holistic_protection.htm">Holistic Protection</a></b><br>God's protection encompasses both physical and spiritual realms, safeguarding the believer's entire being.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/active_trust.htm">Active Trust</a></b><br>While God promises protection, believers are called to actively trust and abide in His presence.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_91.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 91</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_of_psalm_91_10_immunity.htm">Is there any historical or archaeological evidence supporting Psalm 91:10 that faithful individuals experienced literal immunity from disasters? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_psalm_91_contradict_job's_suffering.htm">In light of biblical accounts where the righteous do suffer (e.g., Job), does Psalm 91 contradict other Scriptures regarding God’s protection? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_redshift_mean.htm">What actions do angels perform?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_psalm_91_13_literal_or_symbolic.htm">Psalm 91:13 states believers will trample on lions and snakes; is this to be taken literally, and if so, why does no historical record confirm such extraordinary feats?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/91.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">Dwelling.</span>--Literally, <span class= "ital">tent: </span>an instance in which the patriarchal life became stereotyped, so to speak, in the language.
