詩篇 11:6-7 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 11:1-7

Faith's antidote to fear. This psalm is referred by some to the early struggles of David against the unrelenting jealousy of Saul; by others to the rebellion of Absalom; by others to the general conflict ever waging between the good and the evil powers. The subject of it is "Confidence in the Lord, and his protection even against the mightiest force of the wicked." The two leading ideas are the doctrine of David's friends, and David's own doctrine.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 11:6

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares . On Divine displeasure follows Divine punishment—not always speedy, but sure. Those who have plotted against David will have" snares rained" upon them. God is said to "rain" on men both his blessings and his curses, when he gives them abundantly (comp. Job 20:23 ; Hosea 10:12 ; Ezekiel 34:26 ). By "snares" are meant any difficulties or troubles in which men are entangled by the action of Divine providence. Fire and brimstone . The punishment of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 11:7

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness ; rather, for the Lord is righteous ; he loveth righteousness (see the Revised Version); literally, righteousnesses ; i.e. good and righteous deeds. His countenance doth behold the upright. So the LXX ; the Vulgate, Hengstenberg, Bishop Horsley, and ethers; but the bulk of modern commentators prefer to render, "The upright will behold his countenance." Either translation yields a good sense. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 11:7

The righteous Lord loveth righteousness. This is true for ever. I. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS CONGRUOUS TO GOD 'S NATURE . If light is pleasant to the eye, and music to the ear, and beauty to the soul, it is because they are in the line of rightness. "No man ever yet hated his own flesh" ( Ephesians 5:29 ): how much more must God love that which is akin to himself—which is of the very essence of his character! II. RIGHTEOUSNESS FULFILS GOD 'S PURPOSES . What God seeks... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 11:6

Upon the wicked - Upon all the wicked.He shall rain - He shall pour down as in a furious tempest.Snares - It seems rather incongruous to speak of raining down “snares, “ - understanding by the word snares, as it is used with us, that which entangles, as the snares by which we catch a bird, or by which a wild animal is taken. Compare the notes at Job 18:8-10. The word used here, however, seems to refer to anything by which one is taken in his career or course, or is involved in difficulties; and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 11:7

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness - This would be more correctly rendered, “For Jehovah is righteous; he loves righteousness.” The idea is, that God is himself righteous, and, consequently, he loves those who are righteous. He may be confided in, therefore, by the righteous as their friend, and being under his protection they have nothing to fear.His countenance doth behold the upright - The word rendered “countenance” is, in the Hebrew, in the plural number; literally,” his faces.”... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 11:6

Psalms 11:6. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, &c. The wicked may think themselves very secure, because they are so politic, crafty, and strong; but how can they defend themselves against God, who hath innumerable ways to destroy them, when they least think of it; and can as unexpectedly overthrow all their power as, when the heavens are most serene, a sudden storm of thunder and lightning and tempestuous wind arises and spreads destruction far and near? Dr. Waterland reads the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 11:7

Psalms 11:7. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness This is mentioned as the reason why God punishes the wicked so dreadfully. It is because, being righteous, essentially righteous, himself, he cannot but love righteousness, which is his own image stamped on the faithful, by his own Spirit. He therefore must proportionably hate wickedness, and of course show his hatred to it before the whole intelligent creation, by punishing such as live and die in the commission of it. His... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 11:1-7

Psalms 11-13 Persevere . . . or give in?There came a time when David became tired of his continual flight from Saul, not just because it was wearying, but because it was cutting him off from the public worship places of God’s people (1 Samuel 26:19). His spiritual life was weakened and he gave in to the temptation to leave his own country for the safety of enemy Philistia (1 Samuel 27:1). This is the sort of temptation that David considers in Psalms 11:0, the temptation to go along with... read more
