Mazmur 91:3

91:3 he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the hunter ¹ 

and from the destructive plague.

Mazmur 91:6

91:6 the plague that comes in the darkness,

or the disease that comes at noon. ² 

[91:3]  ¹ tn The word refers specifically to a fowler (or hunter of birds).

[91:6]  ² sn As in Deut 32:23-24, vv. 5-6 closely associate military attack and deadly disease. Perhaps the latter alludes to one of the effects of siege warfare on the population of an entrapped city, which was especially vulnerable to the outbreak of epidemics.
