Psalm 66:6-7 WEB

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:1-20

LXVI. A and LXVI. B. Here again we have two Pss., rather unskilfully joined together, for the former ends, the latter begins abruptly. In Psalms 66 A ( Psalms 66:1-2 Kings :) the speaker always uses the first person plural in speaking of himself. He represents the people, or at least a section of the people. He deals with matters of public concern. In Psalms 66 B ( Psalms 66:13-Proverbs :) the poet uses the singular number and thanks God for grace bestowed upon himself personally. LXVI. A.... read more

The flood, or river, to wit, Jordan. We, i.e. our nation, or our ancestors, in whose loins we then were, and the benefit of which ancient deliverance we at this day enjoy. See the like expressions Psalms 81:5; Hosea 12:4. The whole people of Israel are oft considered as one body, continued through all succeeding generations, united in the bond of the same covenant and worship, and in the possession of the same promises, and privileges, and blessings, and acted by one and the same spirit; and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 66:7

The same power which God had and put forth for his people in ancient time, he still hath in as great vigour as ever, and is not at all weakened by age, and is as able and ready to act for them now as ever he was; which he hath showed by this late and glorious instance. His eyes behold the nations; he sees all their secret and subtle devices, and can and will defeat them, when he sees fit. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves; lift up their hands against God, or against his people. Or, the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 66:1-20

This in the Greek is called a psalm of the resurrection, no doubt because God had in David’s time revived the nation. The application to the captivity is unsupported by the language of joy. David here utters many sentiments like those in the fortieth psalm. Psalms 66:13 . I will pay thee my vows. Those which he had made before a battle, or in some great trouble. It was usual in war to make vows to the Lord. Psalms 66:16 . I will declare what he hath done for my soul. Good men among the... read more

Psalms 66:1-20Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands.ProvidenceThe real theme of this psalm is in the last section: it is a psalm of thanksgiving for a special mercy experienced by an individual. But the account of this special providence is prefaced by two sections descriptive of the providence of God in general. This is in accordance with a law of the spiritual life. Those who enter into real experience of their own are thereby united with the entire religious experience of the race.... read more

All the earth shall worship Jehovah, and shall sing unto His name.II. All objections to the fulfilment of this declaration are triumphantly repelled.

Psalms 66:5-12Come and see the works of God.The Eternal Ruler of the universeI. As an object for human study. “Come and see the works of God.”1. The highest study of man is God. All other studies, unless they lead up to Him, are worse than useless.(1) The study of God is the most quickening. It stirs the profoundest fountains of sympathy, and sets all the wheels of the mental machine to work.(2) It is the most humbling study. As the mind directs its attention to God, all egotism vanishes--the... read more

Psalms 66:7He ruleth by His power for ever: His eyes behold the nations.The nature and design of moral governmentEverything around points us to a law or rule, by which creation is governed, and this implies a mind that cannot work in vain. But against this, “the rebellious exalt themselves.” And they do this because they are rebellious; atheism is of the heart more than of the reason.I. Of the nature and design of moral government. And this government is--1. Sovereign. This essential to the... read more
