Psalm 91:5-6
New English Translation

5 You need not fear the terrors of the night,[a]
the arrow that flies by day,
6 the plague that stalks in the darkness,
or the disease that ravages at noon.[b]

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 91:5 tn This probably alludes to a sneak attack by enemies in the darkness of night (see Song 3:8).
  2. Psalm 91:6 sn As in Deut 32:23-24, vv. 5-6 closely associate military attack and deadly disease. Perhaps the latter alludes to one of the effects of siege warfare on the population of an entrapped city, which was especially vulnerable to the outbreak of epidemics.
