詩篇 10:7-8 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 10:1-11

I. A very great affection to God and his favour; for, in the time of trouble, that which he complains of most feelingly is God's withdrawing his gracious presence (Ps. 10:1): ?Why standest thou afar off, as one unconcerned in the indignities done to thy name and the injuries done to the people?? Note, God's withdrawings are very grievous to his people at any time, but especially in times of trouble. Outward deliverance is afar off and is hidden from us, and then we think God is afar off and we... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 10:7

His mouth is full of cursing ,.... Or, "he has filled his mouth with cursing" F5 אלה פיהו מלא . God and good men, his superiors, himself and others. The word signifies "an oath"; and may design either a profane oath, taking the name of God in vain; or an oath on a civil account, a false oath, taken with a design to defraud and deceive others, as follows, and intends perjury; and this, as applicable to antichrist, regards his mouth speaking great things and blasphemies against... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 10:8

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages ,.... Which were by the wayside, where thieves and robbers harboured, and out of which they came, and robbed passengers as they came by. The word F6 חצרים αυλας , Symmachus in Drusius; "atriorum", Munster; so Hammond, Ainsworth, & Michaelis. signifies "palaces" or "courts": and so it is rendered by the Chaldee paraphrase and Syriac version; and so the allusion is not to mean thieves and robbers, but to persons of note and figure.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 10:7

His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud - What a finished character! A blasphemer, a deceitful man, and a knave! read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 10:8

He sitteth in the lurking places - In this and the following verse there appears to be an allusion to espionage, or setting of spies on a man's conduct; or to the conduct of an assassin or private murderer. He sitteth in lurking places - in secret places; his eyes - spies - are privily set; he lieth in wait secretly: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He is like a hunter that lays his traps and gins, digs his pits, sets his nets; and when the prey falls into them, he... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 10:7

Verse 7 7.His mouth is full of cursing. The scope of these four verses is this: If God intends to succor his servants, it is now a proper time for doing so, inasmuch as the lawlessness of the ungodly has burst forth to the utmost possible excess. In the first place, he complains that their tongues are full of perjuries and deceits, and that they carry or hide mischief and wrongs, it being impossible to have any dealings with them in any matter without loss and damage. The word אלה,alah, which... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 10:8

Verse 8 8.He will sit in the ensnaring places of the villages. (217) I have purposely avoided changing the verbs of the future tense into another tense, because they imply a continued act, and also because this Hebrew idiom has extended even to other languages. David, therefore, describes what ungodly men are accustomed to do. And, in the first place, he compares them to highwaymen, who lie in wait at the narrow parts of roads, and choose for themselves hiding-places from which they may fall... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

Why? or, Hard facts and puzzling questions. Whether or no this psalm was originally a part of the ninth is a question which, as may be seen, is discussed by many expositors. The mere absence of a title to it is, however, a very slight indication in that direction; while the contrast, almost violent, between the two psalms seems to be sufficient to show that they could scarcely have been penned by the same writer at the same time. The ninth psalm is a song of praise over the great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

Times of darkness and fear. The experiences of the psalmist may differ from ours, but by faith and sympathy we can enter into his feelings. Besides, there is always more or less of trouble. Life is full of vicissitudes. Times of darkness and of fear come to all. Not from one, but from many, the cry goes up to Heaven, "Why standest thou afar off?" I. THE COMPLAINT . ( Psalms 10:1-11 .) Why? Perplexity and fear are natural because of the silence of God. What makes his silence the... read more
