John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 34:8

Verse 8 8.Taste and see that Jehovah is good. In this verse the Psalmist indirectly reproves men for their dulness in not perceiving the goodness of God, which ought to be to them more than matter of simple knowledge. By the word taste he at once shows that they are without taste; and at the same time he assigns the reason of this to be, that they devour the gifts of God without relishing them, or through a vitiated loathing ungratefully conceal them. He, therefore, calls upon them to stir up... read more

Verse 9 9.Fear Jehovah, ye his saints. Here the people of God are exhorted to the pursuit of holiness and righteousness, that they may open up a channel for divine blessings. We know that men are accustomed to provide for their wants, by resorting to fraud, plunder, and even to wrongful violence. Nor is it possible but that the faithful must feel some stirrings of a desire to imitate the wicked, and envy them in some degree in their prosperity, so that they permit themselves sometimes to howl... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 34:10

Verse 10 The Psalmist illustrates this doctrine by a very apposite comparison, namely, that God provides every thing necessary for his people, and relieves their wants, whilst the lions, which surpass in ferocity all the wild beasts of the earth, prowl about in a famishing condition for their prey. Some think, that under the name of lions, those men who are addicted to violence and plunder are metaphorically described; but this, in my opinion, is too refined. David simply asserts, that those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 34:1-10

Links of grace. I. In this hymn we have first of all PRAISE . Praise is not an impulse, or an outburst of enthusiasm soon to die out, but it is the expression of the heart and the exercise of the life. It is good to have stated times for praise, but when the soul is in true fellowship with God it will find "continual" reason for praising him. "Praise" is for "all times," because God fills "all times." Thanksgiving has respect to special times, and to what God has done for us, but... read more

Deliverance and gratitude. Occasion of the psalm uncertain. Celebrates some great deliverance which awakens praise and inspires him to teach others trust add the secret of a prosperous life. I. A GREAT DELIVERANCE CELEBRATED . ( Psalms 34:4-6 .) Salvation. 1 . He was in great trouble and danger. ( Psalms 34:4-6 .) That the nature of the danger is not explained. Sin and sorrow our greatest trouble. 2 . He earnestly sought deliverance. ( Psalms 34:4-6 .)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 34:1-22

Life's experiences turned to manifold uses. £ There is no sufficient reason for severing this psalm from the detail of history to which its title refers; and it is much to be wished that its writer had uniformly turned his own experience to a use as wise as that which he here urges upon others. £ But David's pen might be golden, though sometimes his spirit was leaden; and we may study with great advantage the ideal of life which he sets before us, learning from his experience how we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 34:7

The angel of the Lord eneampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them . According to some commentators (Rosenmuller, 'Four Friends,' and others), the expression, "angel of the Lord," is here used as a collective, and means the angels generally. With this certainly agrees the statement that the angel "encampeth round about them that fear him;" and the illustration from 2 Kings 6:14-18 is thus exactly apposite. But others deny that "the angel of the Lord" has ever a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 34:8

O taste and see that the Lord is good; i.e. put the matter to the test of experience. There is no other way of really knowing how good God is. Blessed is the man that trusteth in him (comp. Psalms 2:12 ; Psalms 84:12 ; Proverbs 16:20 ; Isaiah 30:18 ; Jeremiah 17:7 ). Trust in God is a feeling which is blessed in itself. God also showers blessings on such as trust in him. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 34:8

The test of experience. "Oh, taste and seer" The glory of our age is its experimental science . The method of the old philosophers, against which Lord Bacon wrote, was to assume certain principles as true, and reason down to the facts. The new method, to which all the victories of modern science are due, is to reason back from facts to principles; first carefully observing, then testing your conclusions; first learning by experience, then verifying by experience. This method, which... read more
