James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:1-27

THE SEVENTY WEEKS Thus far in Daniel we have been dealing with the prophetic history of the times of the Gentiles, but now we return to that of his own people, the Jews. Note the time and circumstances, Daniel 9:1-2 . The prophet is studying such books of the Old Testament as he possessed, especially Jeremiah, and knows the seventy years captivity nears its end, therefore he is moved to offer one of the most notable prayers in the Bible. This prayer is divisible into confession, Daniel... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 9:3-19

The Lord had said by his servant Ezekiel, that for all his promised blessings, he would be enquired of by the house of Israel. Ezekiel 36:37 . Here, therefore, Daniel set himself to pray, and that earnestly. And what a beautiful earnest supplication it is. The very soul of the Prophet seems to be going forth with every petition. I do not think it needful to point to the Reader the many blessed things contained in it. The prayer would lose its own lovely simplicity, and force, by any comment. I... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 9:4-19

4-19 In every prayer we must make confession, not only of the sins we have been guilty of, but of our faith in God, and dependence upon him, our sorrow for sin, and our resolutions against it. It must be our confession, the language of our convictions. Here is Daniel's humble, serious, devout address to God; in which he gives glory to him as a God to be feared, and as a God to be trusted. We should, in prayer, look both at God's greatness and his goodness, his majesty and mercy. Here is a... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 9:1-99

Daniel 9 WHAT IS RECORDED in chapter 9 took place shortly after Darius had overthrown Babylon and taken the kingdom - that is, soon after the experience Daniel had, as narrated in Daniel 5.0 . By this time he was of course an old man, and near the end of his life of service, for he had been amongst the first batch of captives, deported by Nebuchadnezzar. Jeremiah, an older man, had been left in Jerusalem, prophesying there until its destruction years later. The fall of Babylon was a tremendous... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 9:16-27

Renewed Favor in God’s Own Time Daniel 9:16-27 Daniel 9:17-19 have in them a tone of anguish which reminds us of our Lord’s words as to the violence which takes the kingdom of heaven by force. God loves to see us in dead earnest. It is not long but strong prayers that prevail with Him. He sometimes seems to deny us, that He may draw us out in supplication. Notice the response to such prayer. Before it was spoken, it was granted, Daniel 9:23 . Before Daniel called, he was answered, and while... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 9:1-27

In the first year of the reign of Darius, Daniel, who was evidently not only a man of prayer, but a diligent student of the prophetic writings, became conscious that the seventy years of judgment on Jerusalem foretold by Jeremiah were drawing to a close. He therefore set himself to seek the Lord by personal prayer and penitence on behalf of his people, making confession of their sin, and pleading their cause. He besought the Lord that the reproaches which had fallen on Jerusalem be put away,... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Daniel 9:1-19

Daniel's Prayer Daniel 9:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Prayer should always hold a prominent place in the lives of all Christians. We are to study today the prayer of one of God's greatest servants. As a prelude, let us seek to think on prayer for a while, considering, especially, some of the outstanding reasons for prayer. 1. Christians should pray because God asks it of them. To the Word and the Testimony: "Pray without ceasing." "In every thing by prayer." "Enter into thy closet, and * * pray."... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 9:17-18

“Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplications, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary which is desolate, for the Lord’s sake (or ‘which is desolate because of the Lord’). O my God, incline your ear and hear, open your eyes, and behold our desolations and the city which is called by your name. For we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousnesses, but for your great mercies.” Daniel’s prayer bring out the feelings of the... read more
