Psalm 91 Vs. 11

Psalm 91 Vs. 11

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psm. 91:11

For he shall... Partially quoted by Satan in Mat. 4:6; Luke 4:10. Satan omitted the phrase "in all thy ways," but added the phrase "at any time," showing how he misquotes and misapplies Scripture. Also, Psm. 91:13 is omitted by Satan, because it predicts his own crushing defeat (Gen. 3:16; Luke 10:19). The verse has a double reference.

Created spirits, so called, made by the Lord, and are at his command. Who are ministering spirits to his people, who encamp about them, and are concerned in the preservation of them; they being committed to their care and charge by him who is Lord of heaven and earth. Satan applied this passage to Christ (Matt. 4:6). Nor did our Lord object to the application of it; and it can hardly be thought that he would have ventured to have done it, had he been aware that a misapplication might be objected; or that it was not the received sense of the place. What he is to be blamed for, in quoting it, was the wrong purpose for which he produced it, and for leaving out the next clause, which he saw was against his design.

to keep thee... In walking and travelling from place to place, as Providence calls and directs. And in all civil ways, in all lawful business and employment of life. In all spiritual ones, as the ways of God and religion. What Satan tempted Christ to was neither of these ways; it was not a natural way of going, nor the duty of his office, nor any of the ways of God.
Notice from the next two verses, that angels are ministering spirits. They are to minister to those who are the saved.
Hebrews 1:13-14 "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?" "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"
Every person who is a believer has angels who minister to him. These are to help the believer, and to protect them as well.

Angels protect from physical harm and give believers strength to overcome difficulties.
