诗篇 36:6-7 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 36:5-12

David, having looked round with grief upon the wickedness of the wicked, here looks up with comfort upon the goodness of God, a subject as delightful as the former was distasteful and very proper to be set in the balance against it. Observe, I. His meditations upon the grace of God. He sees the world polluted, himself endangered, and God dishonoured, by the transgressions of the wicked; but, of a sudden, he turns his eye, and heart, and speech, to God ?However it be, yet thou art good.? He... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 36:6

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains ,.... Or, "the mountains of God"; so called for their excellency, as the cedars of God, Psalm 80:10 ; or, as Gussetius F5 Ebr. Comment. p. 66. observes, the greatest and highest mountains, which are here meant, reaching above the clouds and the region of the air, are the pillars of the palace of God, and a part of it; and therefore called his mountains with great propriety, to which his righteousness is compared: that is, either the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 36:7

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God ,.... Which has appeared to men and not angels, to some and not others; to the chief of sinners, who are by nature children of wrath as others; in choosing, redeeming, and calling them, taking them into his family, and making them heirs of eternal glory; and all this of his sovereign good will and pleasure, there being nothing in them that could move him to it; which lovingkindness was in his heart from everlasting, and will never change in him,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 36:6

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains - אל כהררי keharerey El , like the mountains of God; exceeding high mountains; what, in the present language of geology, would be called primitive mountains, those that were formed at the beginning; and are not the effects of earthquakes or inundations, as secondary and alluvial mountains are supposed to be. Thy judgments are a great deep - רבה תהום tehom rabbah , the great abyss; as incomprehensible as the great chaos, or first... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 36:7

How excellent is thy loving-kindness - He asks the question in the way of admiration; but expects no answer from angels or men. It is indescribably excellent, abundant, and free; and, "therefore, the children of Adam put their trust under the shadow of thy wings." They trust in thy good providence for the supply of their bodies; they trust in thy mercy for the salvation of their souls. These, speaking after the figure, are the two wings of the Divine goodness, under which the children of men... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 36:6

Verse 6 6.Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God In this verse there is a commendation of God’s righteousness, which the sacred writer compares to the high mountains, (this being the manner of the expression — “the mountains of God,” for we know that the Hebrews were accustomed to distinguish by the appellation divine, or of God, whatever is excellent,) because his glory shines forth more clearly there. In the last place, it is said, that his judgments are like a great and bottomless... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 36:7

Verse 7 7O God! how precious is thy loving-kindness! Some explain these words in this sense: That the mercy of God is precious, and that the children of men who put their trust in it are precious; but this is a sense too far removed from the words of the text. Others understand them as meaning, that the mercy of God is very great to the gods, that is to say, to the angels and the sons of men; but this is too refined. I am also surprised that the Jewish Rabbins have wearied and bewildered... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:1-12

The psalm divides itself into three strophes, corresponding to the division of the subject-matter. Strophe 1. ( Psalms 36:1-4 ) gives the portrait of the wicked man. Strophe 2. ( Psalms 36:5-9 ) paints the Divine goodness. Strophe 3. ( Psalms 36:10-12 ) contains the prayer and the expression of confidence. The title ascribes the psalm to David; and the critics generally acquiesce. Some of them point out special Davidical indications; but no one has ventured to assign it to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:1-12

We have here a terrible picture of, the wicked man. I. HIS HEART IS THE SEAT OF EVIL . It is there as an "oracle.' It is enthroned. It speaks with authority. It gives forth its decrees for obedience. The true is opposed by the false. Righteousness gives place to unrighteousness. All counsels of reason and compunctions of conscience are hushed by the cry, "No God!" ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3 , 2 Thessalonians 2:4 ). II. HIS LIFE IS MARKED BY ABANDONMENT TO ... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 36:1-12

Aspice. Look around , how distressing is the scene! Look back , it is the fame tale of human care and crime. Look before , little to encourage, or to lead us to believe that things will be better than they are. But look up , and we can take heart, and speak one to another of better times. Clod reigns. Christ is at the right hand of the Father, to carry out his gracious purposes. Though there be much that is dark and depressing, yet we are able still to pray to God as "our Father,"... read more
