Notes on this verse:
“The angel of the Lord” A special manifestation of Yahweh Himself at strategic historical junctures (compare Gen. 16:7, 18-19; 31:11; Joshua chapter 5; Judges chapters 6 and 13). A strong case can be made that these were pre-incarnate appearances of the Lord Jesus Christ (see note on Exodus 3:2).
“The angel of the Lord” is a phrase that appears only three times in the Psalms (35:5-6). Jesus appeared on serval occasions in the Old Testament in this form (e.g., Exodus 3:2; Judges 2:1-4; 1 Chron. 21:16-18). Not only had God promised to deliver His people, He has promised to give them the Deliverer! Jesus Himself draws near to believers in their fear.
We see the purpose of angels in the following Scripture.
Hebrews 1:14 “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”
Encampeth means to continually encamp. Then this means, if we fear God, angels are encamped around us to help us and to deliver us from harm. A good prayer to pray for those in trouble is; God let your angels encamp around them and save them from all harm.
