John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:18

Verse 18 18.For the poor shall not always be forgotten. The assertion that God will not forsake the poor and afflicted for ever, is a confirmation of the preceding sentence. By it he intimates, that they may indeed seem to be forsaken for a time. Let us, therefore, remember that God has promised his assistance to us, not in the way of preventing our afflictions, but of at length succouring us after we have been long subdued under the cross. David speaks expressly of hope or expectation, thereby... read more

Verse 19 19.Arise, O Jehovah. When David beseeches God to arise, the expression does not strictly apply to God, but it refers to external appearance and to our senses; for we do not perceive God to be the deliverer of his people except when he appears before our eyes, as it were sitting upon the judgment-seat. There is added a consideration or reason to induce God to avenge the injuries done to his people, namely, that man may not prevail; for when God arises, all the fierceness (182) of the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:20

Verse 20 20.Put them in fear, O Jehovah. The Septuagint translates מורה, morah, [ νομοθέτης,]a lawgiver, deriving it from ירה,yarah, which sometimes signifies to teach. (185) But the scope of the passage requires that we should understand it of fear or dread; and this is the opinion of all sound expositors. Now, it is to be considered of what kind of fear David speaks. God commonly subdues even his chosen ones to obedience by means of fear. But as he moderates his rigour towards them, and, at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Praise for the destroyer's destruction. The title of this psalm is obscure. Its archaisms cannot now be satisfactorily explained. And even a reference to the most learned expositors may possibly only increase the confusion. £ The title, indeed, is very suggestive. It reads, "Upon the death of Labben." Walford regards "Muth-labben" as the name of a musical instrument. For this we can find no warrant. The word muth , which is equivalent to "death," seems to put us on a line of thought... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:13-20

Prayer to God. Previous verses have celebrated the triumph of the Divine righteousness in punishing the wicked and defending the cause of the oppressed. Psalms 9:13 and Psalms 9:14 are a personal prayer, interrupting the flow of the general strain of the psalm. Luther says, "In the same way do all feel and sleek who have already overcome some tribulation, and are once more oppressed and tormented. They cry and beg that they may be delivered." I. THE PSALMIST 'S PRAYER TO ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:17

The wicked shall be tamed into hell ; literally, shall be turned backwards to Sheol , or Hades ; i.e. shall be removed from earth to the place of departed spirits. There is no direct threat of retribution or punishment, beyond the poena damni , or loss of all that is pleasing and delightful in this life. And all the nations that forget God; rather, even all the people (Kay). "The wicked" and "the people that forget God" are identical. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:18

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten . The peer and needy, the oppressed and down-trodden ( Psalms 9:9 , Psalms 9:12 ), seem for a time to be forgotten of God; but even this seeming oblivion comes to an end when judgment fails on the oppressors ( Psalms 9:17 ). The expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. "The expectation of the poor" is deliverance. It shall not "perish," or be disappointed, "for ever," i.e. always. There shall be a time when their expectation... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:19

Arise, O Lord (comp. Psalms 7:6 , and the comment ad loc. ) . Let not man prevail; or, let not weak man prevail. The word used for "man," enosh , carries with it the idea of weakness. That "weak man" should prevail over God is preposterous. Let the heathen be judged in thy sight. If judged, then, as being wicked, condemned; if condemned, then punished—defeated, ruined, brought to nought (see Psalms 9:5 ) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:19-20

An appeal to God. "Arise, O Lord," etc. The mysteries of life are no modern discovery. They perplexed and oppressed the souls of ancient saints, often well-nigh to the overthrow of faith. They are aggravated and emphasized by the fact, which we perhaps fail sufficiently to grasp, that Israel stood alone among nations as the witness to the unity, holiness, and truth of God. The host of surrounding peoples, some of them at the very summit of worldly greatness, worshipped "gods many and... read more
