Psalm 91 (con't.)

The covering of feathers, as doves, eagles, and ostriches cover their young
ones, is a protective act. The word truth means, His faithfulness. God’s faith-
fulness is your protection.

v. 5 - Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow
[that] flieth by day;

v. 6 - [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction
[that] wasteth at noonday.

Verse 5 is fairly clear in its description. Don’t be afraid of whatever goes on during the day and night. Verse 6 the word pestilence could be interpreted as misery and misfortune as used in Psalm 11:2.

To paraphrase verses 5 and 6, it means: Do not be afraid of what goes on in life.
