Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 91:3

"For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence." — Psalms 91:3 (ASV)

Snare of the fowler. —The image of the net has occurred frequently before. (See Psalms 10:15 and elsewhere.) Here, as in Ecclesiastes 9:12, it is used generally of any unexpected peril to life.

Noisome pestilence. — Literally, pestilence of calamities, i.e., fatal. (See Psalms 57:1, where the same word “calamities” occurs.)
