Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 91:10

"There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent." — Psalms 91:10 (ASV)

Dwelling. —Literally, tent: an instance in which the patriarchal life became stereotyped, so to speak, in the language. (See Note, Psalms 104:3.) Even we speak of “pitching our tent.”
