詩篇 5:8-10 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

The superscription, "To the Chief Musician upon Nehiloth," is thought to mean, either, continuously, "To the Chief Musician, for an accompaniment of wind instruments;" or, discontinuously, "To the Chief Musician: a Psalm upon inheritances.'' In the latter case, the respective "inheritances" of the wicked (verse 6) and the righteous (verses 11, 12) are supposed to be meant. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

A morning prayer: for sanctuary service: in evil times. This psalm seems to have been written for, or handed to the leader of a special choir, that he might adapt music for its use in sanctuary worship; not necessarily that of the temple—for its composition was probably anterior to the erection of that building—but for use in the services of that temporary structure which preceded it, and which, though but temporary, and even fragile in a material sense, was nevertheless in a high and holy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

A morning prayer. Every new day the priests began anew the service of God in the temple. The altar was set in order, the lamb was made ready, and as soon as the sign of day was given the morning sacrifice was offered (Le Psalms 6:5 ; Numbers 28:4 ). In this there was a lesson for all times. Every new day calls for a fresh consecration of ourselves to God. "When first thine eyes unveil, give thy soul leave to do the like" (Vaughan). In this morning prayer we find I. FAITH IN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:8

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness . Here at last we find what David prayed for. Previously, we have only heard him entreat that his prayer may be heard ( Psalms 5:1 , Psalms 5:2 ), declare that he will pray early ( Psalms 5:3 ), and before the tabernacle ( Psalms 5:7 ); now we learn what his prayer is. It is that God will lead him in the path of his righteousness—that righteousness of which he is the pattern, and whereof he approves; and will "make his way plain for him," i.e.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:8-12

The righteousness of God. This second strophe of the psalm is very much like the first in substance, the matter running parallel with Psalms 5:3-7 . The fundamental thought on which all is based is that of the righteousness of God. The whole prayer is framed on that conception. I. A PRAYER FOR RIGHTEOUS DELIVERANCE AND GUIDANCE . 1 . For righteous guidance. "Lead me in thy righteousness; make thy way [the right way] plain to me." 2 . For righteous deliverance ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:9

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ; or, no steadfastness —"no sincerity" (Kay, Cheyne); see the comment on Psalms 5:6 . Their inward part is very wickedness ; literally, wickednesses ; i.e. nothing but wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulchre . "Emitting the noisome exhalations of a putrid heart" (Bishop Horns). They flatter with their tongue ; literally, they make smooth their tongues , which may, perhaps, include flattery, but points rather to smooth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:10

Destroy thou them, O God ; rather, condemn them , or declare them guilty (Kay); κρῖνον αὐτούς ( LXX .). Let them fall by their own counsels. No condemnation naturally follows punishment. David assumes that God will make his enemies fall; he prays that they may fall from the effect of their own counsels. The fate of Ahithophel ( 2 Samuel 17:23 ) perhaps fulfilled this imprecation . Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; Thrust them out (Revised... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 5:1-12

:TitleUpon Nehiloth - The title of Psalms 4:1-8 is, “upon Neginoth.” As that refers to a musical instrument, so it is probable that this does, and that the idea here is that this psalm was intended particularly for the music-master that had special charge of this instrument, or who presided over those that played on it. Perhaps the idea is that this psalm was specially designed to be accompanied with this instrument. The word here, Nehiloth - נחילות nechı̂ylôth, plural. נחילה nechı̂ylâh,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 5:8

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness - That is, conduct me safely in the manifestation of the principles of justice or righteousness which belong to thy nature. David felt assured that his was a righteous cause, and that he might make his appeal to God on the ground of the justness of that cause. Such a ground of appeal is always proper when we are in danger or in trouble from the injustice of others, for we may always ask of God to interpose, and to cause that which is right to be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 5:9

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth - There is nothing in them which can be confided in; nothing in their promises and declarations. They are false and treacherous, and I can, therefore, only appeal to thee. It is easy to see the propriety of this statement, and of those which follow, on the supposition that this refers to the rebellion of Absalom. Absalom had gone to Hebron on a false pretence 2 Samuel 15:7-10, and every act of his in this whole transaction had been treacherous and... read more
