诗篇 9:18-20 CUNPSS

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 9:18

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:20

Put them in fear, O Lord ; literally, set fear to them ; i.e. "make them afraid," either by striking a panic terror into them, as into the Syrians when they had brought Samaria to the last gasp ( 2 Kings 7:6 , 2 Kings 7:7 ), or by causing them calmly to review the situation, and to see how dangerous it was to assail God's people ( 2 Kings 6:23 ). That the nations may know themselves to be but men. May recognize, i.e; their weakness; may remember that they are enosh —mere ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 9:18

For the needy - The poor; those who are dependent and helpless.Shall not always be forgotten - That is, by God. He will interfere and save them by destroying their enemies. He will not suffer the wicked always to persecute and oppress the righteous. In due time he will vindicate his own cause; will deliver the oppressed and down-trodden, and will consign their oppressors to deserved punishment. This is as true now, in regard to all the oppressed and their oppressors, as it was in the time of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 9:19

Arise, O Lord - See the notes at Psalms 3:7.Let not man prevail - Against thee and thy cause. The war waged against the psalmist he regarded as waged against God, and he calls upon him, therefore, to interpose and vindicate his own cause. The word rendered “prevail” is be strong; that is, let not man seem to be stronger than thou art, or let, him not succeed in his efforts in opposing thy cause.Let the heathen be judged in thy sight - The nations to whom the writer had referred in the psalm,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 9:20

Put them in fear, O Lord - From this it is evident that the enemies of the psalmist were bold, daring, confident in their own strength, and in the belief that they would succeed. He prays, therefore, that these bold and daring invaders of the rights of others might be made to stand in awe, and to tremble before the great and terrible majesty of God; that they might thus have just views of themselves, and see how weak and feeble they were as compared with Him.That the nations may know - The... read more
