詩篇 36:9-10 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:1-12

The curse of wickedness and the blessedness of fellowship with God. The psalmist complains of the moral corruption of his generation, and points the character of the time rather than any particular occurrence—unless "the foot of pride" in the eleventh verse may possibly refer to some invader that he dreaded. We have here a vivid description of the cursed state of ingrained , deliberate wickedness , and of the supreme blessedness of fellowship with God. I. THE CURSE OF ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:5-12

God's revelation of himself to man. The reason for so sudden a transition in the theme of this psalm does not clearly appear. It is, indeed, possible that portions of two may be pieced together; but we have no proof of that. The remark of Calvin is very striking, "After having spoken of the great depravity of men, the prophet, afraid lest he should be infected by it, or be carried away by the example of the wicked, as by a flood, quits the subject, and recovers himself by reflecting on a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:9

For with thee is the fountain of life . The ultimate source of all life is God. Israel had been taught by Moses ( Deuteronomy 30:20 ) that God was their Life; but this was not all; he is equally the Origin of life to everything that lives—to angels, men, beasts, birds, fishes, zoophytes, plants (see Genesis 1:11 , Genesis 1:20 , Genesis 1:24 , Genesis 1:27 , etc.). And, as he is the sole Source of natural life, so is he also the one and only Origin of spiritual vitality ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:9

The fountain of life. This short but sublime psalm opens in a minor key. With a few powerful strokes the psalmist paints the blindness, untruthfulness, blasphemous presumption of an ungodly life—a life void of godly fear, and of that hatred of evil without which there is no true love of goodness. Then as with a sudden recoil from this hateful spectacle, the psalmist turns to God, pouring forth a noble strain of praise. He contemplates God's mercy, truth, justice, bountiful providence, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:10

O continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee . Here begins the third strophe. Having finished his" instruction," the psalmist passes on to prayer; and is content to ask that God will be in the future such as he has been in the past—that he will "lengthen out," prolong, or "continue his loving-kindness" to his faithful servants, dealing with them as he has hitherto dealt with them ( Psalms 36:5 , Psalms 36:7 ), mercifully, graciously, and lovingly. His faithful servants are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 36:9

For with thee is the fountain of life - The fountain or source from which all life flows. All living beings derive their origin from thee, as streams flow from fountains; all that is properly “called” life proceeds from thee; everything which makes life real life - which makes it desirable or happy - has its origin in thee. The psalmist evidently meant here to include more than mere “life” considered as animated existence. He recalls what he had referred to in the previous verses - the various... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 36:10

O continue - Margin, as in Hebrew: “draw out at length.” The Hebrew word means “to draw;” hence, “to draw out,” in the sense of “continuing” or “prolonging.” Compare Psalms 85:5; Psalms 109:12; Jeremiah 31:3. The desire of the psalmist here is, that God would make the manifestation of his loving-kindness “continuous” or “perpetual” to His people; that it might not be fitful and interrupted, but always enduring, or constant. It is the utterance of a prayer that his favor might always be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 36:9

Psalms 36:9. With thee is the fountain of life From which those rivers of pleasure flow. Life is in God as in a fountain, and from him is derived to us. As the God of nature, he is the fountain of natural life; in him we live, and move, and have our being. As the God of grace, he is the fountain of spiritual life: all the strength and comfort of sanctified souls; all their gracious principles, powers, and performances, are from him. He is the spring and author of all their sensations... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 36:10

Psalms 36:10. O continue thy loving-kindness unto them, that know thee That is, that know thee so as sincerely to love thee, for every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God: whereas he that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love, 1 John 4:7. As thou hast begun, so continue the manifestation and exhibition of thy loving-kindness to such, both in this life and the next. Hebrew, משׁךְ חסדךְ , meshok chasdecha, extend, or draw forth thy lovingkindness, or mercy: let... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 36:1-12

Psalms 36:0 Human sin and divine loveWhen people habitually do what they know is wrong, the principle of lawlessness takes control of their lives. It hardens their hearts against God and blinds their eyes to their own failures, so that they cannot see the terrible judgment for which they are heading (1-2). Their wrong attitude shows itself in deceitful speech, evil actions and mischievous plottings (3-4).God, on the other hand, is characterized by covenant love that is limitless (5), acts of... read more
