Psalm 91:2KJV·author unknown

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

John Calvin Reformed

The first verse states two distinct truths, not one repeated twice as some wrongly suppose. He who dwells in God's secret place and abides under His shadow, these are two separate ideas working together, each adding weight to the promise of safety.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist

To say the Lord is a refuge is poor comfort; to say He is my refuge is the essence of consolation. Believers must speak this out boldly, for such avowals honour God and stir others to seek the same confidence. When peril comes, we must fly to the Lord for shelter, not to the arm of flesh, and rejoice that our fortress is unassailable.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

The believer's home is in God; he sits down and reposes in Him as his rest, making heart-work of worship and loving solitude with his God. So dwelling, he abides under the shadow of the Almighty, a shelter that comes between him and every annoyance, a refuge that will never fail.
