Surely He will deliver you
The word "surely" conveys a sense of certainty and assurance. In Hebrew, the word used here is "כִּי" (ki), which often introduces a statement of fact or promise. This opening phrase sets the tone for the entire verse, emphasizing God's unwavering commitment to protect His people. The term "deliver" in Hebrew is "נָצַל" (natsal), meaning to rescue or save. This reflects God's active role in safeguarding His followers, highlighting His power and willingness to intervene in times of trouble. The assurance of deliverance is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, reminding believers of God's faithfulness and sovereignty.

from the snare of the fowler
The "snare" refers to a trap or a device used for capturing birds, symbolizing hidden dangers or deceitful schemes. In Hebrew, the word is "פַּח" (pach), which can also imply a net or a noose. The "fowler" is one who hunts birds, representing those who seek to ensnare or harm the righteous. This imagery is rich in historical context, as bird trapping was a common practice in ancient times. Spiritually, it signifies the various temptations and spiritual attacks believers may face. God's promise to deliver from such snares underscores His protective nature and His ability to thwart the plans of the enemy.

and from the deadly plague
The phrase "deadly plague" translates from the Hebrew "דֶּבֶר" (deber), which can mean pestilence or epidemic. This term evokes the fear and devastation associated with widespread disease, a reality familiar to the ancient world. Historically, plagues were seen as divine judgments or natural calamities that could decimate populations. In a spiritual sense, this phrase can also represent any overwhelming trial or affliction. God's deliverance from such plagues is a testament to His power over life and death, and His ability to provide refuge and healing. This assurance encourages believers to trust in God's protection amidst life's uncertainties and challenges.

(3) Snare of the fowler.--The image of the net has occurred frequently before. (See Psalm 10:15, &c) Here, as in Ecclesiastes 9:12, it is used generally of any unexpected peril to life.

Noisome pestilence.--Literally, pestilence of calamities, i.e., fatal. (See Psalm 57:1, where the same word "calamities" occurs.)

Verse 3. - Surely he shall deliver thee. The second speaker takes up the word, and naturally changes the person. Addressing the first speaker, he says - Yes, assuredly, God shall deliver thee from whatever dangers beset thee: as, first, from the snare of the fowler (comp. Psalm 124:7; Proverbs 6:5); and, secondly, from the noisome pestilence (comp. ver. 6), i.e. from all dangers whatsoever - not more from these than from others.
