On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

terror--or, what causes it (Pr 20:2). by night--then aggravated. arrow--that is, of enemies. The security is more valuable, as being special, and, therefore, evidently of God; and while ten thousands of the wicked fall, the righteous are in such safety that they only see the calamity.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

But, (2.) Here is great security promised to believers in the midst of this danger: " Thou shalt not be afraid. God by his grace will keep thee from disquieting distrustful fear (that fear which hath torment) in the midst of the greatest dangers. Wisdom shall keep thee from being causelessly afraid, and faith shall keep thee from being inordinately afraid.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

By night - When evil accidents are most terrible and least avoidable. Arrow - The pestilence, or any such destructive calamity; such are frequently called God's arrows.
