Commentaries on Psalms 91:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11He shall give his angels charge over thee - Evil spirits may attempt to injure thee; but they shall not be able. The angels of God shall have an especial charge to accompany, defend, and preserve thee; and against their power, the influence of evil spirits cannot prevail.
