John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 64:7

Verse 7 7And God shall shoot an arrow at them The Psalmist now congratulates himself in the confident persuasion that his prayers have not been without effect, but already answered. Though there was no appearance of God’s approaching judgment, he declares that it would suddenly be executed; and in this he affords a remarkable proof of his faith. He saw the wicked hardening themselves in their prosperity, and presuming upon impunity from the divine connivance and forbearance; but instead of... read more

Verse 8 8And they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves Pursuing the same subject, he remarks, that the poison concocted in their secret counsels, and which they revealed with their tongues, would prove to have a deadly effect upon themselves. The sentiment is the same with that expressed elsewhere by another figure, when they are said to be caught in their own snares, and to fall into the pit which they have digged themselves, (Psalms 57:6.) It is just that Heaven should make the... read more

Verse 9 9And all men shall see, and shall declare the work of God. He insists more fully upon the good effects which would result from the judgment executed in leading such as had formerly overlooked a Divine Providence altogether, to catch a spirit of inquiry from the singularity of the spectacle; and acquaint themselves with, and speak one to another of a subject hitherto entirely new to them. He intimates, that the knowledge of what God had so signally wrought would extend far and wide — for... read more

Two strophes of four verses each ( Psalms 64:1-4 , Psalms 64:7-10 ) are separated by one of two verses ( Psalms 64:5 , Psalms 64:6 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 64:1-10

Man's inhumanity to man. I. DRIVING THE GODLY MAN TO PRAYER . We see many evils we cannot remedy. They move our pity, they stir our indignation. Perhaps we argue and remonstrate; perhaps in a moment of generous impulse we may try our hand at redress. But how little can we do! and our best efforts not only fail, but may even bring ourselves and others into greater trouble ( Exodus 2:11-14 ). In our grief and despair we turn to God; his ear is ever open to the cry of the... read more

Danger and faith. The psalm was probably written by David at the court of Saul. I. DANGER . ( Psalms 64:2-6 .) 1 . To character . From slander. 2 . To life . ( Psalms 64:1 .) From secret plots and conspiracies. II. FAITH IN GOD . 1 . Expressed in prayer for protection . 2 . That God will destroy the plots of his enemies . ( Psalms 64:7 , Psalms 64:8 .)

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 64:2

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity . The first danger is from secret plots, which David knows to be going on against his authority ( 2 Samuel 15:1-12 ). The second, and greater danger, will be from open insurrection ( 2 Samuel 17:1-14 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 64:3

Who whet their tongue like a sword (comp. Psalms 55:21 ; Psalms 57:4 ; Psalms 59:7 ). And bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words (comp. Psalms 11:2 ; Psalms 57:4 ). Calumny was what David especially feared, and what actually brought about his downfall (see 2 Samuel 15:2-6 ). The "bitterness" of his enemies is further emphasized by the speeches and curses of Shimei ( 2 Samuel 16:5-13 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 64:3

Bitter words. Of the ten commandments, two are directed against sins of speech —one against profane words concerning God; the other against slanderous words concerning our neighbours. No sins are apt to be thought more lightly of than sins of the tongue; yet no sins are more severely and constantly denounced in Scripture. Probably no class of sins does more mischief in the world. Our words are spoken of as the special object of Divine knowledge ( Psalms 139:4 ). The sinfulness of "... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 64:4

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect; or, in their hiding places . David does not scruple to call himself "perfect," using the word in the sense in which it is used of Job ( Job 1:1 ; Job 2:3 ), meaning a sincere and upright man. Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They are not afraid, though it is "the anointed of the Lord," whom to attack is not only rebellion, but sacrilege (see 2 Samuel 1:14 ). read more
