诗篇 131:2-3 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 131:2

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself ; rather, I have stilled and quieted my soul . I have brought my soul into a state of peacefulness and content. As a child that is weaned of his mother . The weaned child is quiet and content; the suckling always impatient and restless. My soul is even as a weaned child . Another repetition for the sake of emphasis (see Psalms 130:5 , Psalms 130:6 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 131:2

Restraint of natural ambitions. "Instead of fretting after what is too great for him, he quiets his ambition, and his spirit lies calm and gentle, like a child in its mother's arms, that, after the first trouble of weaning is over, is soothed and lulled by the maternal caress." The image is strikingly simple and true, of natural desire stayed and of a subdued quietness of rest rather than delight. Perowne quotes the following as a mother's experience: "The weaned child has for the first... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 131:3

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 131:3

Man's personal experience may be the basis of his hope in God. "Let Israel hope in the Lord;" let him, because he has such abundant reason for so doing, in the experience that he has had of the Lord's gracious working. This is the refrain of several of these "songs of degrees," which, we have seen, are essentially "songs of uplifting," or calls to put trust and hope in God. I. MAN 'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IS SELDOM , IF EVER , PRECISELY REPEATED . Froude suggests that... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 131:2

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself - Margin, as in Hebrew, my soul. The Hebrew is, “If I have not soothed and quieted my soul.” This is a strong mode of affirming that he had done it. The negative form is often thus used to denote a strong affirmation. The full form would be, “God knows if I have not done this;” or, “If I have not done this, then let me bear the consequences; let me be punished.” The idea is that he was conscious he had done this. Instead of being arrogant, proud, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 131:3

Let Israel hope in the Lord ... - The connection would seem to require us to understand this as the assertion of him who had been accused of thoughts which seemed to be too lofty. As the result of all his reflections (of those reflections for which he was rebuked and charged with pride, but which were really conceived in a modest spirit) - as expressing what he saw that seemed to be in advance of what others saw, or to indicate a habit of thought beyond his years - he says that there were... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 131:2-3

Psalms 131:2-3. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself Hebrew, שׁויתי ודוממתי נפשׁי , I have composed and hushed, or, rendered silent, my soul. When my mind was provoked to any irregular passion or temper, I restrained and subdued all such sinful motions or dispositions. As a child that is weaned of his mother As void of all that ambition and malice, wherewith I am charged, as a child newly weaned; or, rather, as wholly depending upon God’s providence, as the poor helpless infant,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 131:1-3

Psalm 129-131 Preparing for worshipThinking back on the sorrows of Israel’s history, the travellers recall that ever since the days of the nation’s ‘youth’ in Egypt, Israel has had suffering. The backs of the people had been whipped when they were slaves, but God cut the cords that bound them in slavery and set them free (129:1-4). Now again they are troubled by those who hate them. They pray that God will turn back their enemies and make them as useless as stalks of grass that wither and die... read more

Israel. Not "a liturgical addition", but used to link the three Psalms of this group together (Psalms 129:1 ; Psalms 130:7 , Psalms 130:8 ; Psalms 131:3 ). For Israel is to find rest and peace where their kings (David, and Hezekiah) found it. read more
