The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:1-7

When my spirit was overwhelmed. This is said to be one of David's cave psalms. There are some seven or eight which, according to their inscriptions, have to do with David's persecution by Saul. What cave is meant, whether Adullam or Engedi, we do not know. I. HERE IS A MOST DISTRESSFUL CONDITION SET FORTH . It is described: 1. As being overwhelmed . ( Psalms 142:3 .) As if some fierce flood had rushed down upon him and his, and with sore difficulty they could... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:1-7

A cry for deliverance. "The last of the eight psalms to be referred to David's persecution by Saul. Supposed to describe his thoughts and feelings when he was in the "cave," though whether of Adullam or of Engedi is not clear. It expresses the cleaving of the heart to God, the deep sense of loneliness, the cry for deliverance, the confidence that that deliverance will call forth the sympathy and the joy of many others." I. IMPORTUNATE PRAYER UTTERED ALOUD WITH VOICE AND ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:5

I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my Refuge . When men's fathers and mothers forsake them, the Lord taketh them up ( Psalms 27:10 ). David looked to God as a sure Refuge at all times ( Psalms 9:9 ; Psalms 18:1 , Psalms 18:2 ; Psalms 57:1 ; Psalms 59:9 , Psalms 59:16 , Psalms 59:17 ). And my Portion in the land of the living; or, "my inheritance" (comp. Psalms 16:5 ; Psalms 73:26 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:5

Pleading what we said to the Lord. This is what the psalmist is here doing; he is putting the Lord in remembrance of his servant's earnest vows. I. WHAT WAS SAID . 1. He reminds the Lord how he had " cried unto " him . His coming was with all earnestness and sincerity of soul; and he tells the Lord this, as much as to say, "Lord, thou knowest that my prayer went not forth out of feigned lips, but it was with true heart that I turned to thee." Such is the prayer the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:5

The soul's rights in God. "Thou art my Refuge, my Portion in the land of the living." This apprehension of God's relations belongs to a man who was placed in distressing circumstances, which were all the more distressing because he looked this way and that for human helpers, and found none. It is not that, disappointed in man, the psalmist turned to God. It is that, having linked together God's help and man's, he has had to learn that there are times in life when a man must turn from the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:6

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low (comp. Psalms 79:8 ; and see also Deuteronomy 28:43 ; 6:6 ; Psalms 116:6 ). In the cave of Adullam David had but four hundred outlaws to defend him against Saul, who was at the head of all the thousands of Israel ( 1 Samuel 22:2 ). Deliver me from my persecutors . Saul, Doeg, the Ziphites, and the armed bands with whom Saul "hunted David in the mountains" ( 1 Samuel 26:20 ). For they are stronger than I ; or, "too strong for me." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:7

Bring my soul out of prison. The word "prison" is used symbolically, as a metaphor for trouble and distress (comp. Psalms 88:8 ; Psalms 107:10-14 ). That I may praise thy Name ; or, "that men may praise thy Name." David's deliverance from his enemies would cause the godly generally to "praise the Lord." The righteous shall compass me about ; rather, in me shall the righteous triumph (Kay, Cheyne). Viewing my cause as their own, they will glory in my deliverance (comp. Psalms 35:27... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 142:7

God's bountifulness. "Thou shalt deal bountifully with me." The point here seems to be that an unusual experience of the Divine goodness, in one particular case, excites the attention of others who trust in God, and becomes, for them, an inspiration to increased confidence in God. I. GOD 'S BOUNTIFULNESS AS OUR IMPRESSION OF GOD 'S DEALINGS WITH US . It is not the constant impression. Sometimes we have to say, "My purposes are broken off;" "He hath hedged up my... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 142:5

I cried unto thee, O Lord - When there was no help; when I saw myself encompassed with dangers; when I looked on every hand and there was no “man” that would undertake for me.I said, Thou art my refuge - (a) My “only” refuge. I can go nowhere else.(b) Thou art “in fact” my refuge. I can and do put my trust in thee.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 142:6

Attend unto my cry - Give ear to me when I cry to thee. Do not turn away and refuse to hear me.For I am brought very low - I am reduced greatly; I am made very poor. The language would be applicable to one who had been in better circumstances, and who had been brought down to a condition of danger, of poverty, of want. It is language which is commonly applied to poverty.Deliver me from my persecutors - Saul and his followers.For they are stronger than I - More in number; better armed; better... read more
