Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 141:1

PSALM 141AN EVENING PRAYER FOR SANCTIFICATION AND PROTECTIONHere we have another of the group of Psalms in Book V which are ascribed to David in the superscription. There being nothing in the psalm which casts any doubt upon this, we accept it as accurate and dispense with the usual discussions regarding authorship. The last two verses here have exactly the same sentiment as that expressed in Psalms 140:8-10.Psalms 141:5-7 are admitted by all scholars to be most difficult to translate, there... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 141:1

Psalms 141:0. David prayeth that his suit may be acceptable, his conscience sincere, and his life safe from snares. A Psalm of David. Title. לדוד מזמור mizmor ledavid.— It is probable that David composed this psalm just before his flight to Achish, king of Gath, when he had a second time spared Saul's life (1 Samuel 26:0.), but could trust him no longer: upon which he takes the resolution mentioned 1 Samuel 26:1-2. As his determination was to fly speedily, there is no question but he did so,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 141:2

Psalms 141:2. Let my prayer, &c.— This shews the writer at a distance from the tabernacle; where all their solemn prayers, together with their daily sacrifices, were offered up; and therefore, with his face probably directed thither, he begs that God would accept of all that was in his power to perform: namely, the devotion of his heart, and the elevation of his hands in prayer: as if he had said, "Though this address of mine must necessarily want all those solemnities of preparation... read more

1. A request to be heard 141:1-2Because David compared this prayer to the incense of the evening offering, he probably offered it at that time of the day (i.e., about 3:00 p.m.). He requested a speedy reply. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 141:1-10

Psalms 141In this evening prayer, David asked God to protect him and enable him to continue living for God’s glory. It is an individual lament."Life is built on character and character is built on decisions. This psalm reveals David making a number of wise decisions as he faced the attacks of the enemy."

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 141:2

(2) Set forth . . .—See margin; but more literally, be erected, suggesting the pillar of smoke (comp. Tennyson’s “Azure pillars of the hearth”) continually rising to heaven. Some think the incense refers to the morning sacrifice, so that the verse will mean, “let my prayer rise regularly as morning and evening sacrifice.” But this is hardly necessary.Sacrifice—i.e., the offering of flour and oil, which followed the burnt offering both at morning and evening (Leviticus 2:1-11; in Authorised... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 141:1-10

Our Words Psalms 141:3 The occasion which called forth the Psalm was no doubt the rebellion of David's son, Absalom. And it may be that in a fit of penitential grief for the hard things he has said, he calls upon God to make him more careful in the future. I. First, the careless word. Be on your guard against this. You spoke lightly, may be, of the Saviour's Name on some occasion. You spoke slightingly of religion. Some child or little one in the kingdom, some weak one just entering in,... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 141:1-10

Psalms 141:1-10PART of this psalm is hopelessly obscure, and the connection is difficult throughout. It is a prayer of a harassed soul, tempted to slacken its hold on God, and therefore betaking itself to Him. Nothing more definite as to author or occasion can be said with certainty.The allusions in Psalms 141:6-7 are dark to us, and the psalm must, in many parts, remain an enigma. Probably Baethgen and Cheyne are wise in giving up the attempt to extract any intelligible meaning from Psalms... read more
