Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 35:13

(13)And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.—This has been most variously explained. The context evidently implies something done for the benefit of the whilome friends for whom, in their sickness, the poet had worn sackcloth, and had fasted and adopted all the other signs of mourning. We must therefore set aside (1) the idea of fruitless prayer, in spite of the analogy of Matthew 10:13, Luke 10:6. (2) The notion that the answer to the prayer came back to the psalmist himself, instead of to... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 35:1-28THE psalmist’s life is in danger. He is the victim of ungrateful hatred. False accusations of crimes that he never dreamed of are brought against him. He professes innocence, and appeals to Jehovah to be his Advocate and also his Judge. The prayer in Psalms 35:1 a uses the same word and metaphor as David does in his remonstrance with Saul. {1 Samuel 24:15} The correspondence with David’s situation in the Sauline persecution is, at least, remarkable, and goes far to sustain the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 35:0 The Cry for Justice and Divine Help 1. The cry of distress (Psalms 35:1-10 ) 2. The contrast? (Psalms 35:11-18 ) 3. Prayer for vindication and victory (Psalms 35:19-28 ) This Psalm introduces us again to the suffering of the righteous, giving another prophetic picture of the distress of the remnant. When David composed this Psalm we do not know. But He casts himself completely on the Lord and calls to Him for help and vindication. Thus the godly have always done when... read more

35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and {l} my prayer returned into mine own bosom.(l) I prayed for them with inward affection, as I would have done for myself: or, I declared my affection with bowing down my head. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 35:11-12

I do not think it enough to prove that these words were spoken in a spirit of prophecy, wholly referring to Christ; but I would desire the Reader to remark, with me, the gracious love of the Holy Ghost to the church, in thus keeping up the faith of Old Testament saints, and confirming the faith of New Testament believers, by such continued references to the person and sufferings of their Redeemer. Matthew 26:59-63 ; John 10:32 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 35:13-14

Literally this is true of Christ. For our sickness was unto death. And to recover us did not Jesus clothe himself with the sackcloth of mortality? Did he not fast forty days and forty nights? Did he not both fast and pray, and mourn over us as though we had been friends or brethren, when we were all enemies to God by wicked works? Oh, thou compassionate Lord! Yes! thou wert a brother indeed born for adversity! Thou wert and art a friend at all times, and thou didst, and still thou dost comfort... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:12

Sinner. Hebrew and Septuagint, "sinners," who are always striving to supplant the just by pride and evil example. (Berthier) --- Let me not listen to their wicked advice. (St. Augustine) --- Let not the enemy invade our country any more. (Calmet) --- The just may pray that no bad example or pride may place an obstacle to his salvation. (Worthington) read more
