詩篇 60:8-9 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 60:6-12

David is here rejoicing in hope and praying in hope; such are the triumphs of the saints, not so much upon the account of what they have in possession as of what they have in prospect (Ps. 60:6): ?God has spoken in his holiness (that is, he has given me his word of promise, has sworn by his holiness, and he will not lie unto David, Ps. 89:35), therefore I will rejoice, and please myself with the hopes of the performance of the promise, which was intended for more than a pleasing promise,?... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:8

Moab is my washpot ,.... To wash hands and feet in: and so the Syriac version, "and Moab the washing of my feet"; a vessel for low and mean service, and so denotes the servile subjection of the Moabites to David; see 2 Samuel 8:2 ; and as the words may be rendered, "the pot of my washing" F18 סיר רחצי "olla lotionis meae", Pagninus, Montanus, Michaelis, Gejerus; so Tigurine version, Musculus, Vatablus. . Great numbers of the Moabites might be at this time servants to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:9

Who will bring me into the strong city ?.... Which some understand of Rabbah of the Ammonites, which Joab besieged, and sent to David to come and take it in person, 2 Samuel 12:26 . The Targum interprets it of Tyre, which was a strong fortified city, Ezekiel 26:4 . It rather seems to be the same with Edom, or the metropolis of the Edomites; since it follows: who will lead me into Edom ? which was situated in the clefts of the rock, and on the height of the hill, Jeremiah 49:16 ;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:8

Moab is my washpot - The Moabites shall be reduced to the meanest slavery. Over Edom will I cast out my shoe - I will make a complete conquest of Idumea, and subject the Edomites to the meanest offices, as well as the Moabites. Philistia, triumph thou because of me - John Hyrcanus subdued the Idumeans, and caused them to receive circumcision, and profess the Jewish religion. The words here seem to predict their entire subjugation. In an essay for a new translation of the Bible,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:9

Who will bring me into the strong city? - If this part of the Psalm, from the sixth to the twelfth verse, refer to the return of the captives from Babylon, as I think probable; then the strong city may mean either Petra, the capital of Idumea; Bozra, in Arabia, near the mountains of Gilead; Rabba, the capital of the Ammonites; or Tyre, according to the Chaldee, the capital of Phoenicia; or Jerusalem itself, which, although dismantled, had long been one of the strongest cities of the east. Or... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:8

Verse 8 8Moab is my wash-pot In proceeding to speak of foreigners, he observes a wide distinction between them and his own countrymen. The posterity of Abraham he would govern as brethren, and not as slaves; but it was allowable for him to exercise greater severities upon the profane and the uncircumcised, in order to their being brought under forcible subjection. In this he affords no precedent to conquerors who would inflict lawless oppression upon nations taken in war; for they want the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:9

Verse 9 9Who will bring me into the fortified city? Anticipating an objection which might be alleged, he proceeds to state that he looked to God for the accomplishment of what remained to be done in the capture of the fortified places of his enemies, and the consolidation of his victories. It might be said, that as a considerable number continued to resist his claims, the confident terms which he had used were premature. God, however, had pledged his word that every nation which set itself in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12

The psalm itself has every characteristic of the Davidic style—liveliness, rapid transitions, terse yet comprehensive language, strong metaphors, intense feeling, hopefulness. It belongs to the time when, after his first Syrian campaign ( 2 Samuel 8:3-8 ), David was engaged in a war with Edom of a most sanguinary character ( 2 Samuel 8:13 ; 1 Kings 11:15 , 1 Kings 11:16 ; 1 Chronicles 18:12 )—marked by striking vicissitudes, and at least one grievous defeat of the forces of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12

Despondency and its antidote. There are heights and depths in the Divine life. We may pass quickly from the one to the other. When at the height of triumph we may be brought low. When in the depths of despondency we may be raised up. This psalm speaks of despondency. We see— I. HOPE RISING IN THE MIDST OF DESPONDENCY . ( Psalms 60:1-4 .) We are apt to fix our mind on our trials. They bulk large. They press us sorely. We dwell upon their grievousness. We shrink from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12

Assurance in prayer. I. THE PRAYER OF THE REJECTED FOR RESTORATION . ( Psalms 60:1-5 .) The grounds of the prayer are: 1 . Their great need . Felt themselves as if cast off—the very earth trembling with their calamity. They had been reduced to the helplessness of one overcome with wine. 2 . The faithfulness of God to his promises was their banner . ( Psalms 60:4 .) They could pray because they carried this banner. 3 . They could hope and pray on... read more
