Psalm 5:11 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 5:7-12

In Ps. 5:7-12 David gives three characters?of himself, of his enemies, and of all the people of God, and subjoins a prayer to each of them. I. He gives an account of himself and prays for himself, Ps. 5:7, 8. 1. He is stedfastly resolved to keep closely to God and to his worship. Sinners go away from God, and so make themselves odious to his holiness and obnoxious to his justice: ?But, as for me, that shall not keep me from thee.? God's holiness and justice are so far from being a terror to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 5:11

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice ,.... Who trust not in themselves, in their own hearts, in their righteousness, or riches, or strength; but in the name, righteousness, and strength of the Lord: who betake themselves to him, and put all their confidence in him: let them rejoice in the salvation of the Lord, and in hope of eternal glory and happiness; let them even shout for joy : not only rejoice inwardly, but express their joy externally, with their voices, and in... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 5:11

Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice - Such expressions as these should be translated in the same way, declaratively and prophetically: "All those who put their trust in thee Shall rejoice, - Shall ever shout for joy." read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 5:11

Verse 11 11.And let all rejoice, etc It makes little difference as to the sense, whether we read these words in the future tense, All shall rejoice, etc., or in the optative mood, Let all rejoice, etc.; for in both ways the meaning of the prophet will be the same; namely, that if God deliver him, the fruit of this deliverance will be common to all the godly; as if he had said Lord, if thou succourest me, the goodness which thou conferrest upon me will not rest on me alone, but will extend to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

The superscription, "To the Chief Musician upon Nehiloth," is thought to mean, either, continuously, "To the Chief Musician, for an accompaniment of wind instruments;" or, discontinuously, "To the Chief Musician: a Psalm upon inheritances.'' In the latter case, the respective "inheritances" of the wicked (verse 6) and the righteous (verses 11, 12) are supposed to be meant. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

A morning prayer: for sanctuary service: in evil times. This psalm seems to have been written for, or handed to the leader of a special choir, that he might adapt music for its use in sanctuary worship; not necessarily that of the temple—for its composition was probably anterior to the erection of that building—but for use in the services of that temporary structure which preceded it, and which, though but temporary, and even fragile in a material sense, was nevertheless in a high and holy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

A morning prayer. Every new day the priests began anew the service of God in the temple. The altar was set in order, the lamb was made ready, and as soon as the sign of day was given the morning sacrifice was offered (Le Psalms 6:5 ; Numbers 28:4 ). In this there was a lesson for all times. Every new day calls for a fresh consecration of ourselves to God. "When first thine eyes unveil, give thy soul leave to do the like" (Vaughan). In this morning prayer we find I. FAITH IN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:8-12

The righteousness of God. This second strophe of the psalm is very much like the first in substance, the matter running parallel with Psalms 5:3-7 . The fundamental thought on which all is based is that of the righteousness of God. The whole prayer is framed on that conception. I. A PRAYER FOR RIGHTEOUS DELIVERANCE AND GUIDANCE . 1 . For righteous guidance. "Lead me in thy righteousness; make thy way [the right way] plain to me." 2 . For righteous deliverance ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:11

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice . David is fond of contrasts. Here he sots the lot of the righteous over against that of the wicked. While the wicked "fall," and are "cast out," or "thrust down' to hell, the righteous "rejoice "—nay, ever shout for joy, displaying their feelings in the true Oriental manner. Because thou defendest them . There is no "because" in the original. The passage runs on without any change of construction, "Let all those that put their trust... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:11

The joy of faith. "Let all those … rejoice," etc. People who look on Bible religion as gloomy and joyless would do well to study the Book of Psalms. It is worth note that in this one book of Scripture the words "joy," "joyful," "glad," "gladness," "rejoice," occur more than ninety times. Truly the "river that maketh glad the city of God" is a full, pure, deep-flowing stream. Idle mirth, empty-headed and hollow-hearted gaiety ( Ecclesiastes 7:6 ), you do not, indeed, find characterizing... read more
