Protection Day and Night
Commentators explain that the phrases "terror by night" and "arrow by day" are poetic ways to describe God's comprehensive protection. This promise covers all times and all types of dangers, whether they are sudden attacks, open battles, secret plots, or natural disasters. The point is that no matter the source or timing of the threat, the one who trusts in God is secure.
