The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 64:10

The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him. The righteous, delivered from their imminent peril, naturally "rejoice in the Lord," i . e . rejoice in God's goodness to them, and feel their confidence in him increased. And all the upright in heart shall glory (comp. Psalms 32:11 ; Psalms 58:11 ). A thrill of joy passes through the whole of God's people, whether they were involved in the danger escaped or not. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 64:9

And all men shall fear - That is, a deep impression would be made, not only on the associates and companions of the wicked, but on all that should hear of what was done.

On this principle, the final punishment of the wicked will make a deep and salutary impression on... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 64:10

The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him - That is, As the result of his gracious intervention, or as the effect of his judgments on the wicked, the righteous will rejoice on account of their own security, and put their trust in One who has thus shown himself to be the friend of holiness, and the enemy of sin. Whatever tends to reveal the divine character, or to make a proper exhibition of that character, will also lead good people to confide in God, and to feel that they... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 64:8-9

Psalms 64:8-9. They shall make their own tongue, &c. The mischief of their hard speeches, and threats, and crafty counsels against me, shall be turned against themselves. All that see them shall flee away Partly through abhorrence of them, and partly through fear of being involved in their destruction. Some think this was fulfilled in the death of Saul, when not only his army was dispersed, but the inhabitants of the neighbouring country were so terrified with his fall, and with that... read more

Daring sinners harden each other; and, having cast off God's government, would fain flatter... read more
