시편 65:3 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 65:1-5

The psalmist here has no particular concern of his own at the throne of grace, but begins with an address to God, as the master of an assembly and the mouth of a congregation; and observe, I. How he gives glory to God, Ps. 65:1. 1. By humble thankfulness: Praise waiteth for thee, O God! in Zion, waits till it arrives, that it may be received with thankfulness at its first approach. When God is coming towards us with his favours we must go forth to meet him with our praises, and wait till the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me ,.... Or, "are mightier than I" F8 מני "prae me", Muis, Michaelis. ; this may be understood either of the iniquities of others, his enemies; their "words of iniquities" F9 דברי עונת "verba iniquitatum", Montanus, Vatablus, Gejerus, Michaelis; so Ainsworth. or iniquitous words, as in the Hebrew text; their calumnies, reproaches, false charges, and accusations, which prevailed against David in Saul's court; or rather his own iniquities, inward... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me - This is no just rendering of the original, מני גברו עונת דברי dibrey avonoth gaberu menni ; "iniguitous words have prevailed against me," or, "The words of iniquity are strong against me." All kinds of calumnies, lies, and slanders have been propagated, to shake my confidence, and ruin my credit. Our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away - Whatsoever offenses we have committed against thee, thou wilt pardon; תכפרם tecapperem , thou wilt make... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 65:3

Verse 3 3Words of iniquity have prevailed against me (447) He does not complain of the people being assailed with calumny, but is to be understood as confessing that their sins were the cause of any interruption which had taken place in the communication of the divine favor to the Jews. The passage is parallel with that, “The ear of the Lord is not heavy that it cannot hear, but our iniquities have separated betwixt us and him.” — Isaiah 59:1 David imputes it to his own sins and those of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Harvest thanksgiving. The three great Jewish feasts had reference to the harvest. The Passover was kept early in the year, when the barley harvest was begun, and a sheaf of the firstfruits was offered as a thank offering (Le 23:10). Fifty days later came Pentecost, when the wheat was ripe; and then two loaves of the new corn were presented (Le 23:17). Last of all was the Feast of Tabernacles, when the fruits of the earth had been gathered in, and the people gave thanks and rejoiced before... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Reasons for praising God. "Can hardly doubt that this psalm was composed on the occasion of an abundant harvest, and was intended to be sung as a hymn of thanksgiving by the whole congregation gathered before God in Zion." God is praised under three aspects. I. AS THE GOD OF THE CHURCH . ( Psalms 65:1-5 .) "Whom thou choosest, and causest to approach." 1 . He is the Hearer of all true prayer. ( Psalms 65:2 .) "Unto thee doth all flesh come" in dependence and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me. Not so much, perhaps, his own iniquities, as these of his nation. Compare the expression, " our transgressions," in the next clause. As for our trangressions, thou shalt purge them away; or, cover them. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:3

Defeat and victory. I. Here is A CONFESSION DEFEAT . When we look within we find that, instead of all being right, all is wrong. This alarms us. We rouse ourselves to action. We resolve to live a new life of love and holiness. But the more we try the less we succeed. Our strength is weakness. Our purposes are broken off. Our best endeavours end in defeat. Instead of overcoming evil, we are overcome of evil. Instead of gaining purity and freedom, our case grows worse, and we groan in... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me - Margin, as in Hebrew, Words, or matters of iniquities. The literal meaning is words; and the idea may be that words spoken in iniquity, or slanderous words spoken by others, prevailed against him. The phrase, however, is susceptible of the interpretation which refers it to iniquity itself; meaning the matter of iniquity - the thing - iniquity itself - as if that overcame him, or got the mastery of him. The psalmist here, in his own name, seems to represent the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 65:2-3

Psalms 65:2-3. O thou that hearest prayer That usest and delightest to hear and answer the prayers of thy people in Zion; which he justly mentions as one of the chiefest of God’s favours vouchsafed to his church; unto thee shall all flesh come Men of all sorts and nations, who were allured by this and other singular benefits, to unite themselves to the Jewish Church, according to Solomon’s prediction, 1 Kings 8:41-43. Or, rather, this may be considered as a tacit prediction of the... read more
