Psalm 91:8

8 Somente com os teus olhos contemplarás, e verás a recompensa dos ímpios.

Psalm 91:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 91:8

Only with thine eyes shall thou behold
The flying arrow, the walking pestilence, and wasting destruction, and the great devastations made by it:

and see the reward of the wicked;
the vengeance of God upon them, and this as a just punishment for their sins; not looking upon it with delight and pleasure, rejoicing in the misery of their fellow creatures, any otherwise than as the glory of divine justice is displayed in it; see ( Psalms 52:6 ) ( 68:10 ) , the pestilence is always threatened, and it always comes, as a Judgment upon a wicked generation of men; and so it is ever to be considered, and is considered by good men, ( Leviticus 26:5 ) ( Deuteronomy 28:20 Deuteronomy 28:21 ) .

Psalm 91:8 In-Context

6 nem peste que anda na escuridão, nem mortandade que assole ao meio-dia.

7 Mil poderão cair ao teu lado, e dez mil � tua direita; mas tu não serás atingido.

8 Somente com os teus olhos contemplarás, e verás a recompensa dos ímpios.

9 Porquanto fizeste do Senhor o teu refúgio, e do Altíssimo a tua habitação,

10 nenhum mal te sucederá, nem praga alguma chegará � tua tenda.
