詩篇 141:5-6 JC

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 141:1-10

Psalm 140 - 143 Troubles for the godlyThese four psalms are similar, and from the title of Psalms 142:0 it appears that all four belong to the time when David was fleeing from Saul. (See introductory notes to Psalms 34:0.)Treachery and slander are the chief weapons that David’s enemies use to attack him. These men have the poison of snakes and the cunning of hunters (140:1-5). But Yahweh is David’s God, his defender in whom he trusts for victory (6-8). David’s enemies will receive a fitting... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 141:5

the righteous = a righteous one. an excellent oil = oil for the head. This verse is said to be "extremely obscure" and "corrupt to a degree". The Figure of speech Metalepsis ( App-6 ) makes all clear; "head", being first used for hair , and then for the whole person by Figure of speech Synecdoche (of the Part). Hebrew = "as oil on the hair, I will not refuse it". Note the alternation of lines in this verse. yet. Same root as "withal" in Psalms 141:10 . read more

THE MYSTERIOUS PASSAGEPsalms 141:5-7 are the difficult verses mentioned at the head of this chapter; and we submit the following renditions of these in various versions as the most practical way of discerning what might be meant."Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness;And let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head;Let not my head refuse it:For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock;And they shall hear my... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 141:5

Psalms 141:5. Let the righteous, &c.— I. Mr. Peters is of opinion, that David in this verse manifestly alludes to his anointment and designation to the throne. He translates and explains it thus: Let the just man be still upbraiding me with my goodness, and let the ointment of my head be urged against me, it shall not break my head: for hitherto my prayer has been against their wickedness. "As for my part behaviour towards Saul, I can never repent of it, whilst I am conscious I have done my... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 141:6-7

Psalms 141:6-7. When their judges— This first verse contains an account of David's humanity towards Saul, in giving him his life at two several times, when he had it in his power to destroy him as he pleased, says Mr. Peters, who translates it thus: Their judges have been dismissed in the rocky places, and have heard my words that they were sweet. That is, "their princes have been dismissed in safety, when I had them at an advantage in those rocky desarts, and they only heard me expostulate... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 141:5-7

The psalmist expressed openness to the constructive criticisms of the righteous, but he prayed for God to judge the wicked. He believed their leaders would fail, as when an attacking army throws the judges of their enemy from cliffs to destroy them. The wicked would learn that David’s words had been true when God ultimately destroyed them. They would testify that God had overturned them into the grave, as one who plows a field turns the earth over. read more
