The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 91:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The response of God to his people.

I. WHAT THIS RESPONSE IS.

1. That God will answer prayer. But on this, note:

2. He will be with them in trouble. God is always with us; but in our trouble he is more especially with us. This is shown sometimes by his providential help, or by his grace sustaining us.

3. He will deliver and honour. See this in such histories as that of Joseph.

II. WHAT FOLLOWS FROM IT. That to the man of God the following things are impossible:

1. Disappointment; because God will answer.

2. Loneliness; for God is ever with him, and especially in trouble.

3. Disgrace; for how can that be to those whom he honours?

4. Defeat; for God will deliver.—S.C.
