Psalm 34:4 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 34:4-6

Psalms 34:4-6. I sought the Lord, and he heard me David now proceeds to give reasons why God should be praised and glorified; he himself and others had found by experience, that he was a God hearing and answering prayer. He first mentions his own case. God had heard and answered him, and delivered him from all his fears Not only from the death he feared, but from the disquietude he was put into by the fear of it. “This,” says Chandler, “exactly answers to the history, which informs us,... read more

Psalms 34:0 Thanks for deliveranceWhen he first fled from Saul to the Philistine city of Gath, David expected the Philistines would welcome him as a deserter from Israel’s army, and so provide him with refuge. But the Philistines had probably not yet heard of David’s break with Saul. They knew only that David had killed thousands of their own Philistine people; perhaps he was spying out their city in preparation for more slaughter. They decided to kill him, and David escaped only by pretending... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 34:4

Psalms 34:4. And delivered me from all my fears— This exactly answers to the history; which informs us, that when David heard what the servants of Achish said to their master concerning him, He laid up those words in his heart, and was greatly afraid, 1 Samuel 21:13. Undoubtedly, he thought himself in extreme danger; but, instead of removing their suspicions, and his own fears, by offering to join with the Philistines against his country, he rather chose to counterfeit madness, and trust... read more

Psalms 34In this combination individual thanksgiving and wisdom psalm, David glorified God for delivering His people, and he reflected on the Lord’s promise to bless the godly with long life.The title identifies the occasion on which David composed this psalm (cf. 1 Samuel 21:10-15). It is another acrostic with all but the last verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet and with the omission of a verse beginning with the letter waw. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 34:4-7

The psalmist’s recent experience of God answering his prayer for help and delivering him (Psalms 34:4; Psalms 34:6) was only one example to him. Those who trust in the Lord never experience disappointment (Psalms 34:5; Psalms 34:7)."If the sequence in Psalms 34:2-3 was in essence ’I have reason to praise Him; join me’, here [in Psalms 34:4-5] it is ’This was my experience; it can be yours’." [Note: Kidner, p. 139.] "The Angel of the Lord" (Psalms 34:7) is undoubtedly a reference to the Lord... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 34:1-22

The reliability of this title (A Psalm of David; when he feigned madness (RM) before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed) is doubtful, both because the Philistine king in question is called Achish and not Abimelech in 1 Samuel 21:13, and because the contents of the Ps. are akin to the proverbial wisdom of a later age than David’s. The Ps. is an alphabetic or acrostic one, with some of the same irregularities which are found in Psalms 25. Psalms 34:10-16 are quoted in 1 Peter... read more

Daily Prayer Psalms 34:1-22 'As it is the special work of a shoemaker to make shoes,' said Luther, 'and of a tailor to make coats, so it is the special work of a Christian to pray.' The true artist is an artist everywhere. His work in his studio is only a part of his artist life. So must the pious soul be devoted to prayer; his prayers will be only a part of his praying life. The servants of Madame de Chantal used to say of their mistress: 'Madame's first Director made her pray three times a... read more
