诗篇 62:9-12 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 62:8-12

Here we have David's exhortation to others to trust in God and wait upon him, as he had done. Those that have found the comfort of the ways of God themselves will invite others into those ways; there is enough in God for all the saints to draw from, and we shall have never the less for others sharing with us. I. He counsels all to wait upon God, as he did, Ps. 62:8. Observe, 1. To whom he gives this good counsel: You people (that is, all people); all shall be welcome to trust in God, for he is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 62:9

Surely men of low degree are vanity ,.... Or "sons of Adam" F9 בני אדם "filii Adam", Musculus, Michaelis; "nati plebeio homine", Junius & Tremellius; "plebeii", Gejerus; "sons of base men", Ainsworth. ; of the earthly man; of fallen Adam; one of his immediate sons was called Hebel, "vanity"; and it is true of all his sons; but here it designs only one sort of them; such as are poor and low in the world; mean men, as the phrase is rendered in Isaiah 2:9 ; See Gill on Psalm... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 62:10

Trust not in oppression ,.... Either in the power of oppressing others; see Isaiah 30:12 ; or in riches gotten by oppression, which being put into a man's hand by his friend, he keeps, and will not return them; so Aben Ezra and Kimchi interpret it of mammon unlawfully obtained; mammon of unrighteousness, or unrighteous mammon; see Jeremiah 17:11 ; and become not vain in robbery ; in riches gotten by open rapine and theft; and men become vain herein when they boast of such riches,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 62:11

God hath spoken once ,.... One word of his is more to be confided in, and depended on, than all the men and things in the world. The meaning is not that God hath only spoke once; he has spoke often; he spoke all things out of nothing in creation; he spoke all the words of the law at Mount Sinai; he spoke by the prophets under the Old Testament dispensation, and by his Son in the last days, and still by the ministers of the Gospel: but the sense is, that what God has once spoken stands; it is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 62:12

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy ,.... This is the other thing the psalmist had heard, and was assured of, and which encouraged his hope and trust in the Lord; that mercy belonged to him, Psalm 130:7 ; as appears, not only from the common bounties of his providence, daily bestowed upon his creatures; but from the special gift of his Son, and of all spiritual mercies and blessings in him; from the regeneration of the Lord's people, the pardon of their sins, and their eternal... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:9

Men of low degree are vanity - אדם בני beney Adam , which we here translate men of low degree, literally, sons of Adam, are put in opposition to איש בני beney ish , men of high degree, literally, the sons of substance, or children of substantial men. Adam was the name of the first man when formed out of the earth; Ish was his name when united to his wife, and they became one flesh. Before, he was the incomplete man; after, he was the complete man; for it seems, in the sight of God,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:10

Trust not in oppression - Do not suppose that my unnatural son and his partisans can succeed. Become not vain in robbery - If ye have laid your hands on the spoils of my house, do not imagine that these ill-gotten riches will prosper. God will soon scatter them to all the winds of heaven. All oppressors come to an untimely end; and all property acquired by injustice has God's curse on it. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:11

God hath spoken once - God has once addressed his people in giving the law on Mount Sinai. The Chaldee translates the whole passage thus: "God hath spoken one law, and twice have we heard this from the mouth of Moses the great scribe, that strength is before God: and it becomes thee, O God, to show mercy to the righteous; for thou renderest to man according to his works." Twice have I heard this - Except some of the ancient Versions, almost every version, translation, and commentary has... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:9

Verse 9 9.Nevertheless, the sons of Adam are vanity. If we take the particle אך, ach, affirmatively, as meaning surely or certainly, then this verse contains a confirmation of the truth expressed in the preceding verse; and David argues by contrast, (420) that as men are lighter than vanity, we are shut up to the necessity of placing all our expectation upon God. It would agree well, however, with the contrast to suppose, that, under an impression of the little effect which the truth he had... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:10

Verse 10 10Trust not in oppression and robbery We are here taught that there can be no real trusting in God until we put away all those vain confidences which prove so many means of turning us away from him. The Psalmist bids us remove whatsoever would have this tendency, and purge ourselves of every vicious desire that would usurp the place of God in our hearts. One or two kinds of sin only are mentioned, but these are to be understood as representing a part for the whole, all those vain and... read more
