Don't just try to interpret a single sentence. Context matters.
Psalm 91 is in its entirety about you being safe from all harm once you are under God's protection. The general form of Psalm 91 is poetic, because it is poetry. This means the feeling the words inspires in the reader by free association is the actual point. This was not written by a lawyer, and you shouldn't read it like one!
Psalm 91:6 lists one example of the many kinds of harm you will be protected against, namely disease. It's repeated twice in different words, just because it's poetry.
Not much more to it.
IMO, the CORRECT way to read the Psalms, is to feel what they make you feel. Not to dissect them and make up clever interpretations. There's nothing for your left brain to decode here, it's food for your right brain.
My 2c.
