The Pulpit Commentary - Nahum 1:7-8

Opposite types of human character, and opposite lines of Divine procedure. "The Lord is good, a Stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. But with an overruning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies." The previous verses were introductory to the subject which the prophet now takes up, namely, the safe keeping of the Jews by Jehovah, in view of the tremendous attack the King of Nineveh was about making on... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good: a stronghold in the day of trouble - “Good and doing good,” and full of sweetness; alike good and mighty; good in giving Himself and imparting His goodness to His own; yea “none is good, save God” Luke 18:19; Himself the stronghold wherein His own amy take refuge; both in the troubles of this life, in which “He will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able” 1 Corinthians 10:13, and in that Day, which shall hem them in on every side, and leave no place of escape... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Nahum 1:7

Nahum 1:7. The Lord is good But though God is thus terrible in his power, yet he is merciful, gracious, and beneficent in his nature, and is a sure refuge and protection to those who worship and serve him sincerely, and put their trust in him; and he knows and pays a particular regard to all such, so that they are never overlooked or neglected by him; he approves, owns, and preserves them. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

1:1-15 THE POWER OF GODGod is the great judge, the all-powerful ruler of the universe. On the one hand he is patient with the rebellious, but on the other he is zealous for righteousness. His punishment of the guilty is severe, but it is also just (1:1-3a). Through storms, winds, droughts and earthquakes he sends judgments that bring total destruction. When his wrath is poured out on sinners, no one can escape (3b-6).Being so mighty, God can protect those who trust in him, and destroy those who... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nahum 1:7

"Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him."It is a characteristic of all God's prophets that, in the very midst of the most terrible announcements of doom and punishment, there always appears the word of hope, encouragement, solace, or reassurance for God's true people. He never forgets them. Whatever disasters may overwhelm humanity, God will look after those who love him and see to it that they will be spared from any type of disaster... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Nahum 1:7

Nahum 1:7. The Lord is good, &c.— The Lord is good to him who trusts in him in the day of trouble: he careth for those who confide in him. This is said very appositely by the prophet, prophesying against Nineveh, after the overthrow of the army of Sennacherib, and the mercies vouchsafed to Hezekiah, who had put his trust in the Lord. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:7

7. Here Nahum enters on his special subject, for which the previous verses have prepared the way, namely, to assure his people of safety in Jehovah under the impending attack of Sennacherib (Nahum 1:7), and to announce the doom of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian foe (Nahum 1:8). The contrast of Nahum 1:7; Nahum 1:8 heightens the force. he knoweth—recognizes as His own (Hosea 13:5; Amos 3:2); and so, cares for and guards (Psalms 1:6; 2 Timothy 2:19). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 1:2-8

A. The anger and goodness of Yahweh 1:2-8"The opening verses of Nahum form a prologue dominated by the revelation of God’s eternal power and divine nature in creation (cf. Romans 1:20). As in Romans 1:18-32, this revelation is characterized preeminently by God’s justice, expressed in retribution (Nahum 1:2) and wrath (Nahum 1:2-3; Nahum 1:6) that shake the entire creation (Nahum 1:3-6)." [Note: Carl E. Armerding, "Nahum," in Daniel-Malachi, vol. 7 of The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, p. 460.]... read more
