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 9:19

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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 9:19-20

Psalms 9:19-20. Arise, O Lord Stir up thyself, exert thy power: let not man prevail Consult thine own honour and let not men, Hebrew, weak, miserable, and mortal men, prevail against the kingdom and interest of the almighty and immortal God: shall mortal man be too hard for God, too strong for his Maker? Let the heathen be judged in thy sight Let them be evidently called to an account for all the dishonour done to thee, and the mischief done to thy people. Impenitent sinners will be... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9-10 God fights for the oppressedIn Psalms 9:0 and 10 we meet another kind of Hebrew verse, the acrostic. (Other acrostics are Psalms 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119 and 145.) In an acrostic the first word of each verse (or stanza) begins with a different letter of the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet, moving in order, so to speak, ‘from A to Z’. The acrostic in this case moves unbroken through Psalms 9:0 and 10, indicating that originally they probably formed one psalm. The absence of a heading to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 9:19

"Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:Let the nations be judged in thy sight.Put them in fear, O Jehovah:Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)"As Kidner noted, "These verses are a plea for God to put man in his place."[20] Man in his own strength alone is, as one infidel expressed it, an infant crying in the night with no language but a cry." His strength but emphasizes frailty and lasts for only a moment at best. His very life is only a breath in his nostrils, subject to... read more
