PSALM NINETY-ONE
"This entire psalm is an exhortation to the right faith against those who choose their own ways and set up their own righteousnesses, in which they look for God’s help and grace, yea, rather tempt Him, as did the Jews first, then heretics and all their imitators, the oddballs, the superstitious, and the proud in their own mind.
All such people, who are thus driven by spirits of error and borne by the wind of doctrines, have this habit, that they are not satisfied with the boundaries which their fathers set and with the words of the masters which were given them by one Shepherd (Eccl. 12:11); they always want more. And in this they dare like the saints to call upon God as Guide and Protector and hope for the guardianship of angels. It is against the rage and madness of these people that this psalm speaks"
