詩篇 60:6-12 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 60:6-12

David is here rejoicing in hope and praying in hope; such are the triumphs of the saints, not so much upon the account of what they have in possession as of what they have in prospect (Ps. 60:6): ?God has spoken in his holiness (that is, he has given me his word of promise, has sworn by his holiness, and he will not lie unto David, Ps. 89:35), therefore I will rejoice, and please myself with the hopes of the performance of the promise, which was intended for more than a pleasing promise,?... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:6

God hath spoken in his holiness ,.... Or "in his holy place" F17 בקדשו "in sanctuario suo", Tigurine version, Vatablus; "in sancto suo", V. L. Musculus, Cocceius. ; in heaven, the habitation of his holiness and of his glory; or "in the house of the sanctuary", as the Targum: in the tabernacle, in the holy place by Urim and Thummim; and in the most holy place by his sacred oracle, from between the mercy seat: or "by his Holy Ones", as the Arabic version; by his holy prophets, Samuel... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:7

Gilead is mine ,.... This is particularly mentioned, because over this Abner made Ishbosheth king, 2 Samuel 2:9 ; and is the place to which the Jews shall be brought in the latter day, when converted, Zechariah 10:10 ; It was a country that abounded with pastures fit for feeding cattle, Numbers 32:1 , and may point out those green pastures where Christ makes his flocks to lie down and rest; and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head : these two were also... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:8

Moab is my washpot ,.... To wash hands and feet in: and so the Syriac version, "and Moab the washing of my feet"; a vessel for low and mean service, and so denotes the servile subjection of the Moabites to David; see 2 Samuel 8:2 ; and as the words may be rendered, "the pot of my washing" F18 סיר רחצי "olla lotionis meae", Pagninus, Montanus, Michaelis, Gejerus; so Tigurine version, Musculus, Vatablus. . Great numbers of the Moabites might be at this time servants to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:9

Who will bring me into the strong city ?.... Which some understand of Rabbah of the Ammonites, which Joab besieged, and sent to David to come and take it in person, 2 Samuel 12:26 . The Targum interprets it of Tyre, which was a strong fortified city, Ezekiel 26:4 . It rather seems to be the same with Edom, or the metropolis of the Edomites; since it follows: who will lead me into Edom ? which was situated in the clefts of the rock, and on the height of the hill, Jeremiah 49:16 ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:10

Wilt not thou, O God ?.... This is an answer to the question, and is made by putting another, which tacitly contains in it an affirmation that God would do it. He has foretold the destruction of the Romish antichrist; he has said it shall be: he is faithful to his purposes, predictions, and promises; he is able to effect it; strong is the Lord that judgeth Babylon, Revelation 18:10 ; He will put it into the hearts of the kings of the earth to hate her; he will encourage them to reward... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:11

Give us help from trouble ,.... To have trouble is the common lot of all men, but especially of the people of God. They have some troubles which others have not, arising from indwelling sin, Satan's temptations, and the hidings of God's face; and as for outward troubles, they have generally the greatest share of them, which are certain to them by the appointment of God, and the legacy of Christ; though they are needful and for their good, and lie in their way to heaven. But perhaps here is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:12

Through God we shall do valiantly ,.... Or, "through the Word of the Lord", as the Targum; Christ, whose name is the Word of God, appearing at the head of his armies, in a vesture dipped in blood, and with a sharp sword proceeding out of his mouth, will inspire his people to fight valiantly under him; and who, in his name and strength, will get the victory over all their enemies, the beast, false prophets, and kings of the earth, and all under them; see Revelation 19:11 ; for he it is... read more

God hath spoken - Judah shall not only be re-established in Jerusalem, but shall possess Samaria, where Shechem is, and the country beyond Jordan, in which is situated the valley of Succoth. Dividing and meting out signify possession. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:7

Gilead is mine - This country was also beyond Jordan, and Manasseh and Ephraim are put for the tribes that formed the kingdom of Israel. All these, after the return from the captivity, formed but one people, the Jews and Israelites being united. The strength of mine head - It shall be the principal support of the new-found kingdom, when all distinctions shall be buried. Judah is my lawgiver - This tribe was chief of all those who returned from the captivity; and Zerubbabel, who was... read more
