시편 60:4-5 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 60:1-5

The title gives us an account, 1. Of the general design of the psalm. It is Michtam?David's jewel, and it is to teach. The Levites must teach it to the people, and by it teach them both to trust in God and to triumph in him; we must, in it, teach ourselves and one another. In a day of public rejoicing we have need to be taught to direct our joy to God and to terminate it in him, to give none of that praise to the instruments of our deliverance which is due to him only, and to encourage our... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:4

Thou hast given a banner ,.... The word נס is, by Jarchi, taken to signify "temptation" or "trial" F15 So Yalkut Simconi in loc. par. 2. fol. 103. 1. ; and he interprets it of many troubles which they had, that they might be tried by them, whether they would stand in the fear of God, and so considers these words as a continuation of the account of the distresses of the people of Israel; but they are rather to be considered as declaring a peculiar blessing and favour bestowed upon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:5

That thy beloved may be delivered ,.... Some think that these words express the effect or end of the banner being displayed; but because of the word "Selah" at the end of Psalm 60:4 , which makes so full a stop; rather they are to be considered in construction with the following clause. By the Lord's "beloved" ones are meant, not so much the people of Israel, who were loved and chosen by the Lord above all people on the face of the earth, as the elect of God, both among Jews and Gentiles,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:4

Thou hast given a banner - נס nes , a sign, something that was capable of being fixed on a pole. That it may be displayed - להתנוסס lehithnoses , that it may be unfurled. Because of the truth - קשט מפני mippeney koshet , from the face of truth; which has been thus paraphrased: If we have displayed the ensign of Israel, and gone forth against these our enemies, who have now made such a terrible breach among us, ( Psalm 60:1-3 ;), it was because of thy truth - the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:4

Verse 4 4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee. Some interpreters would change the past tense, and read the words as if they formed a continuation of the prayers which precede — O that thou wouldst give a banner to them that fear thee! (386) But it is better to suppose that David diverges to the language of congratulation, and, by pointing to the change which had taken place, calls attention to the evident appearances of the divine favor. He returns thanks to God, in the name of all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12

The psalm itself has every characteristic of the Davidic style—liveliness, rapid transitions, terse yet comprehensive language, strong metaphors, intense feeling, hopefulness. It belongs to the time when, after his first Syrian campaign ( 2 Samuel 8:3-8 ), David was engaged in a war with Edom of a most sanguinary character ( 2 Samuel 8:13 ; 1 Kings 11:15 , 1 Kings 11:16 ; 1 Chronicles 18:12 )—marked by striking vicissitudes, and at least one grievous defeat of the forces of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12

Despondency and its antidote. There are heights and depths in the Divine life. We may pass quickly from the one to the other. When at the height of triumph we may be brought low. When in the depths of despondency we may be raised up. This psalm speaks of despondency. We see— I. HOPE RISING IN THE MIDST OF DESPONDENCY . ( Psalms 60:1-4 .) We are apt to fix our mind on our trials. They bulk large. They press us sorely. We dwell upon their grievousness. We shrink from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12

Assurance in prayer. I. THE PRAYER OF THE REJECTED FOR RESTORATION . ( Psalms 60:1-5 .) The grounds of the prayer are: 1 . Their great need . Felt themselves as if cast off—the very earth trembling with their calamity. They had been reduced to the helplessness of one overcome with wine. 2 . The faithfulness of God to his promises was their banner . ( Psalms 60:4 .) They could pray because they carried this banner. 3 . They could hope and pray on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:4

Thou hast given a tanner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. So most commentators. But the ancient rendering, recently revived by Professor Cheyne, is perhaps preferable. According to this, the meaning is, "Thou hast indeed given a banner to them that fear thee (see Exodus 17:15 ), but only that they may flee before the bow" ( τοῦ φυγεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τόξων , LXX .). On the last occasion that the banner had been lifted, it had seemed to be, not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:5

That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me; rather, hear us . From complaint ( Psalms 60:1-4 ) the psalmist abruptly turns to prayer, thus closing the first strophe with a gleam of hope. read more
