Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 50:1-23
INTRODUCTIONSuperscription. “A Psalm of Asaph.” Asaph was “a Levite, son of Berachiah, one of the leaders of David’s choir (1 Chronicles 6:39). Psalms 50, 73-83 are attributed to him, but probably all these, except 50, 73, and 77, are of later origin. He was in after times celebrated as a Seer as well as a musical composer, and was put on a par with David (2 Chronicles 29:30; Nehemiah 12:46). The office appears to have remained hereditary in his family, unless he was the founder of a school of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:1-23
Psalms 50:1-23 Psalms 50:1-23 is divided into three categories. The first six verses deal with God who is speaking. In the Hebrew it begins, "El Elohim, Jehovah, hath spoken." God, singular; Gods, plural; and then the name Yahweh or Jehovah, hath spoken. "El Elohim," the El, God singular, is many times translated mighty, because it is that force concentrated, and thus, the thought of God as mighty. So it is translated,The mighty God, even Jehovah, hath spoken ( Psalms 50:1 ),God Gods, Elohim;... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 50:1-23
Asaph, to whom this psalm is inscribed, was a seer, as well as head of the singers. He was also the author of twelve psalms, extremely beautiful, and highly prophetic. He here declares that EL ELOHIM JEHOVAH hath spoken. The Latin reads, The God of gods, Jehovah hath spoken. All versions fall short of the original. The prophet speaks here like Enoch, like Joel, like Daniel, of the Lord’s coming to judge and to punish the apostate priests and rulers for rejecting Christ and the gospel; but... read more
