Psalm 69:30 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 69:30-36

The psalmist here, both as a type of Christ and as an example to Christians, concludes a psalm with holy joy and praise which he began with complaints and remonstrances of his griefs. I. He resolves to praise God himself, not doubting but that therein he should be accepted of him (Ps. 69:30, 31): ?I will praise the name of God, not only with my heart, but with my song, and magnify him with thanksgiving;? for he is pleased to reckon himself magnified by the thankful praises of his people. It is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:30

I will praise the name of God with a song ,.... The "name" of God is himself, his perfections and attributes; which are to be "praised" by all his creatures, and especially his saints; and here by the Messiah, who sung the praise of God with his disciples at the supper, a little before his death; and in the great congregation in heaven, upon his ascension thither, having finished the great work of man's redemption. For as it was no lessening of his glory, as Mediator, to pray to God when on... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:30

Verse 30 30.I will celebrate the name of God in a song. The Psalmist now elevated with joy, and sustained by the confident hope of deliverance, sings the triumphant strains of victory. This psalm, there is every reason to believe, was composed after he had been delivered from all apprehension of dangers; but there can be no doubt that the very topics with which it concludes were the matter of his meditation, when trembling with anxiety in the midst of his troubles; for he laid hold upon the... read more

The psalmcloses with Joyful hopes and vows of thanksgiving for salvation. These consequences flow from his confidence in God's salvation. I. HIS OWN PERSONAL GRATITUDE AND SERVICE . 1 . The thanksgiving of a grateful heart will show itself in song and service. ( Psalms 69:30 .) 2 . Spiritual service is more acceptable to God than ceremonial. ( Psalms 69:31 .) II.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 69:30-36

In conclusion, the psalmist bursts out into praise. Confident of receiving the deliverance for which he has prayed, he anticipates it by at once offering thanksgiving ( Psalms 69:30 ). He then calls on others to rejoice with him, first on the poor and humble ( Psalms 69:32 , Psalms 69:33 ), then on heaven and earth and their inhabitants generally ( Psalms 69:34 ). Finally, he delivers a confident prophecy of the continued prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem ( Psalms 69:35 , Psalms... read more

Praise. I. GRANDEST THEME . "Name of God." Take Exodus 3:14 , where God is called the "I am;" or the next verse, where as "the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob," he says, "This is my Name forever." Or take Exodus 34:6 , or some of the great titles given to God: Jehovah-jireh ( Genesis 22:14 ); Jehovah-tsidkenu ( Jeremiah 33:16 ); Jehovah-shalom ( 6:24 ); Jehovah-nissi ( Exodus 17:15 ). What a glorious subject, with... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 69:30

I will praise the name of God with a song - As the result of my deliverance, I will “compose” a song or a psalm especially adapted to the occasion, and suited to express and perpetuate my feelings. It was in such circumstances that a large part of the psalms were composed; and since others besides the psalmist are often in such circumstances, the Book of Psalms becomes permanently useful in the church. It is not always necessary now to “compose” a song or hymn to express our feelings in the... read more

Psalms 69:29-31. But I am poor, &c. Bishop Hare reads it, “But as for me, though I am low and full of pain,” (Hebrew, כואב , choeeb; rendered, in the plural, they were sore, Genesis 34:25,) “thy salvation, O God, shall protect me.” I will praise, &c. I will not be unmindful of the benefit, but praise thy power and goodness in joyful hymns. This shall please the Lord better than an ox, &c. This sincere and hearty sacrifice of praise is, and shall be, more acceptable to... read more
