Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Psalm 91:5 KJV

We can see here the author is still speaking to himself. Still making declarations to his soul. King David did something amazing recorded in 1 Samuel 30:6(KJV), And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
