John Gill Bible Commentary

Only with thine eyes shall thou behold,.... The flying arrow, the walking pestilence, and wasting destruction, and the great devastations made by it: and see the reward of the wicked; the vengeance of God upon them, and this as a just punishment for their sins; not looking upon it with delight and pleasure, rejoicing in the misery of their fellow creatures, any otherwise than as the glory of divine justice is displayed in it; see Psa 52:6, the pestilence is always threatened, and it always comes, as a Judgment upon a wicked generation of men; and so it is ever to be considered, and is considered by good men, Lev 26:5.

Psalms 91:8

You Are My Refuge and My Fortress

⁷Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you. ⁸You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
