psalm-94:15-19

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:19

In the multitude of my thoughts - Of my griefs, ( dolorum , Vulgate); my sorrows, ( οδυνων , Septuagint). According to the multitude of my trials and distresses, have been the consolations which thou hast afforded me. Or, While I have been deeply meditating on thy wondrous grace and mercy, Divine light has broken in upon my soul, and I have been filled with delight. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:15

Verse 15 15.But judgment will return unto righteousness In the dark season of affliction, it is not easy to recognize the secret love which God even then bears to his own children, and the Psalmist adduces another ground of comfort, in the consideration that God will eventually put an end to the confusions which perplex them, and reduce matters to order. The form of expression used by the Psalmist is a little obscure, and this has led some to read the first part of the verse, as if it contained... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:16

Verse 16 16.Who will rise up for me against my adversaries? Here the Psalmist points out, in a lively and graphic manner, how destitute he was of all human aid. As if at the moment in danger, he cries out — Who will stand up for me? Who will oppose himself to my enemies? And immediately afterwards he replies, that had not God helped him, he must have despaired of safety. In declaring that he had been thus miraculously rescued from death, when deserted by all the world, he commends the more... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:18

Verse 18 18.If I said, My foot has fallen What is said in this verse confirms the preceding statement. The more to commend God’s kindness and power, he declares that it was no common danger from which he had been rescued, but in a manner from present death. The import of the language is, that death stared him so full in view, that he despaired of himself; as Paul speaks of having had the message of death in himself, when his condition was desperate, and he had given up hope of life, (2... read more

Divine retribution certain. The psalm may be distributed under the following heads. I. A PRAYER FOR THE PUNISHMENT OF WICKED OPPRESSORS . ( Psalms 94:1 , Psalms 94:2 .) Probably in anticipation of the Assyrian invasion. II. THE GROUND OF THE PRAYER — THE INSOLENT AND ATHEISTIC SPIRIT OF THEIR CRUEL WORK . ( Psalms 94:3-7 .) They murder the fatherless, and say, "Jehovah seeth not?" III. THE BLINDNESS AND CONTEMPT OF GOD ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 94:12-19

The blessedness of the righteous . The psalmist proceeds to console and comfort himself by considering in how many ways the righteous man is blessed. 1 . God chastises him. 2 . God teaches him. 3 . God gives him a time of rest. 4 . God never forsakes him. 5 . God judges him righteously. 6 . God helps him against evil doers ( Psalms 94:16 , Psalms 94:17 ). 7 . God upholds him when he is in danger of falling. 8 . God inwardly comforts his soul. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 94:15

But judgment shall return unto righteousness. "Judgment," i . e . God's actual award of good and evil upon the earth, which has seemed to be divorced from justice, while the ungodly have prospered and the pious been afflicted ( Psalms 94:3-6 ), shall in the end "return unto righteousness," i . e . once more, evidently, conform to it and coincide with it. And all the upright in heart shall follow it; i . e . "and then all honest hearted men shall recognize the fact, see... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 94:16

Who will rise up for me against the evil doers? or, who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? But meanwhile, until this happy time come, what is the condition of the godly? Are they not left a prey to the evil doers, at their mercy, without a champion? The answer is given in the next verse. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 94:17

Unless the Lord had been my Help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. No; they are not without a champion; Jehovah is their Help. It is a part of their blessedness ( Psalms 94:12 ), that they are preserved. in life and protected from the wicked, by God himself. Otherwise they "had soon dwelt in silence." Their soul had gone down to the pit, to the abyss of Sheol, the silent land (comp. Psalms 115:17 ). read more
