The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 11:5

The Lord trieth the righteous . God tries the righteous, scrutinizing them with his penetrating glance, but a glance wherein there is protection and love. When he tries (or closely scrutinizes) the wicked, the result is different— the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. read more

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 11:5

The Lord trieth the righteous - That is, he “proves” them, searches them, tests the reality of their piety. His dealings with them are such as to test the genuineness of their religion, and are designed to show their sincerity and the real power of their religious principles. It is not for the purpose of destroying them, or punishing them, that he deals with them as he does, but it is to show the reality of their attachment to him. This language seems here to be used to show the feeling of the... 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 11:5

Psalms 11:5. The Lord trieth the righteous God may think fit to try the fidelity of him whom he knows to be upright, by many adversities, that he may afterward give him the more illustrious testimonies of his approbation and love, as well as that he may thereby correct the remaining imperfections of his character, may purge away his dross, and more thoroughly refine him for his Master’s use. But the wicked, &c., his soul hateth Whatever success the wicked, and he that delights in... 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

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
