시편 125:4 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 125:4-5

Here is, 1. The prayer the psalmist puts up for the happiness of those that are sincere and constant (Ps. 125:4): Do good, O Lord! unto those that are good. This teaches us to pray for all good people, to make supplication for all saints; and we may pray in faith for them, being assured that those who do well shall certainly be well dealt with. Those that are as they should be shall be as they would be, provided they be upright in heart, that they be really as good as they seem to be. With the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 125:4

Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good ,.... That are made so by the Spirit and grace of God; for none are naturally good, but evil; only such who are regenerated and made new creatures, who have a good work of grace begun in them; who have the good Spirit of God, and his good graces, and the good word of God in them, and are filled with all goodness; and which is known by the good fruits which they bear, or the good works done by them. For these the psalmist prays the Lord would do good... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 125:4

Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good - Let the upright ever find thee his sure defense! Increase the goodness which thou hast already bestowed upon them; and let all who are upright in heart find thee to be their stay and their support! read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 125:4

Verse 4 4.Do good, O Jehovah to the good. The Prophet has already promised to all the faithful the seasonable help of God; but still he has recourse to prayer, and that not without cause; for although faith may sustain us, yet, as our carnal sense and reason are wavering, we ought to mingle prayers for our confirmation. Let us then follow this rule of the Prophet, who, having exhorted all the faithful to cherish confidence, teaches them at the same time, that instead of sitting in listless... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 125:1-5

Divine providence. Does righteousness answer? Is piety rewarded? Is the good man much the better for his goodness? That is the question, both old and new, suggested by the psalm. The reply is in the affirmative; but the fourth verse indicates that the writer's mind is not altogether untroubled by what he has seen. Nor is ours. There is much that, at first sight, perplexes us. We may see the usurper break his oath, cut down his countrymen with the sword, seize the reins of office, and reign... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 125:1-5

Such as cannot be moved. There can be little doubt, so it seems to me , that these psalms, from one of which our text is taken, were all of them songs of the exiles returning from their captivity in Babylon. Their very name—"Songs of Degrees"—denotes that they were sung as the people went up towards their land, their city, and the sanctuary of the Lord. But the frequent allusions to the Exile, to its degradation and sorrow, to the almost complete destruction which had there all but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 125:1-5

The safety of those who trust in God: a lesson from experience. "They that trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever," etc. ( Psalms 125:1 ). I. THEY REST ON AN IMMOVABLE FOUNDATION . "Cannot be moved, but abideth forever." II. ARE SURROUNDED AND PROTECTED AS BY A WALL OF MOUNTAINS . The distant mountains of Moab most probably alluded to, as Jerusalem was surrounded by no great mountains. God's protecting... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 125:3-5

The lot of the righteous. The previous verses have told how secure it is; these add other facts concerning it. I. THE ROD OF THE WICKED SHALL NOT REST UPON IT . 1. It may come upon the righteous . Often had done so; but it should not continue. It has been thought that reference is made here to the troubles of the righteous Nehemiah, by reason of the opposition and treachery he had to meet with (see Nehemiah 2:16 ; Nehemiah 6:10-14 , Nehemiah 6:17 ). It... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 125:4

Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good . Give them their deservings. For their "goodness" repay them with "goodness." And to them that are upright in their hearts . Exegetical of the preceding clause. Only the " upright in heart " are really "good." read more
