诗篇 59:11-13 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 59:8-17

David here encourages himself, in reference to the threatening power of his enemies, with a pious resolution to wait upon God and a believing expectation that he should yet praise him. I. He resolves to wait upon God (Ps. 59:9): ?Because of his strength? (either the strength of his enemies, the fear of which drove him to God, or because of God's strength, the hope of which drew him to God) ?Will I wait upon thee, with a believing dependence upon thee and confidence in thee.? It is our wisdom... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 59:11

Slay thou not ,.... Though they deserved to be slain, and the Lord seemed as if he was about to slay them, who was able to do it; he seemed to be whetting his glittering sword, and his hand to take hold of vengeance ready to execute it; wherefore intercession is made to spare them, which agrees with Christ's petition on the cross, Luke 23:34 . The Targum adds, "immediately": slay them not directly, and at once; give them space for repentance; and so the Jews had: for it was forty years... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 59:12

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips ,.... The words may be read as one proposition, "the words of their lips are the sin of their mouth" F25 So Gejerus, Schmidt. ; they speak nothing but evil; whatever they say is sin; out of the abundance of their evil hearts their mouths speak: or "for the sin of their mouth" and lips; because of the calumnies cast by them on the Messiah, traducing him as a sinful man, a blasphemer, a seditious person, and even as one that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 59:13

Consume them in wrath, consume them ,.... The repetition of the request shows the ardour and vehemency of the mind of the petitioner, and the importunity in which he put up the petition; and suggests that the persons designed were guilty of very great sins, deserving of the wrath of God, and which came upon them to the uttermost, 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ; that they may not be ; either any more in the land of the living; be utterly extinct, having no being in this world, Jeremiah... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 59:11

Slay them not, lest my people forget - I believe the Chaldee gives the true sense of this verse: "Do not slay them suddenly, lest my people should forget. Drive them from their habitations by thy power, and reduce them to poverty by the loss of their property." Preserve them long in a state of chastisement that Israel may see thou hast undertaken for them: that thy hand is on the wicked for evil and on them for good. The Canaanites were not suddenly destroyed; they were left to be pricks in... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 59:12

For the sin of their mouth - This verse has puzzled all the commentators. If we take חטאת chattath for sin-offering instead of sin, we shall get a better sense. Some of Nehemiah's enemies made a profession of the Jewish religion. Tobiah and his son were allied by marriage to the Jews; for Eliashib the priest had married his grandson to the daughter of Sanballat; and this produced a connection with Tobiah, the fast friend of Sanballat. Besides this very priest had given Tobiah one of the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 59:11

Verse 11 11Slay them not, lest my people forget David very properly suggests this to his own mind, as a consideration which should produce patience. We are apt to think, when God has not annihilated our enemies at once, that they have escaped out of his hands altogether; and we look upon it as properly no punishment, that they should be gradually and slowly destroyed. Such being the extravagant desire which almost all, without exception, have, to see their enemies at once exterminated, David... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 59:12

Verse 12 12The sin of their mouth, the words of their lips Some interpreters read, for, or, on account of the sin of their mouth, (369) supplying the causal particle, that the words may be the better connected with the preceding verse. And there can be no doubt that the reason is stated here why they deserved to be subjected to constant wanderings and disquietude. The words as they stand, however, although abrupt and elliptical, well express the meaning which David would convey; as if he had... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 59:13

Verse 13 13Consume, consume them in wrath, that they may not be David may seem to contradict himself in praying for the utter destruction of his enemies, when immediately before he had expressed his desire that they might not be exterminated at once. (374) What else could he mean when he asks that God would consume them in wrath, but that he would cut them off suddenly, and not by a gradual and slower process of punishment? But he evidently refers in what he says here to a different point of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 59:1-17

It is generally agreed that the composition divides into four portions, two of them closed by the pause mark, "Selah," and the other two by a refrain. It thus consists of four strophes, the first of five verses ( 1 Samuel 19:1-5 ), and the other three of four verses each ( 1 Samuel 19:6-9 , 1 Samuel 19:10-13 , and 1 Samuel 19:14-17 ). read more
