Psalm 9:17 KJV

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:10 The name of God always means, in the Bible, the nature and character of God. Our religion in its very essence necessarily depends upon our conception of the nature and character of our God. Your idea of God, your belief about what He is in nature and character, is bound to colour all your relations to Him. I might, of course, say a great deal about the conception of God which is given to us in the Christian revelation, but for the many things that might be said I shall just now... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:1-20Psalms 7:1-17; Psalms 9:1-20 are connected by the recurrence of the two thoughts of God as the Judge of nations and the wicked falling into the pit which he digged. Probably the original arrangement of the Psalter put these two next each other, and Psalms 8:1-9 was inserted later.Psalms 9:1-20 is imperfectly acrostic. It falls into strains of two verses each, which are marked by sequence of thought as well as by the acrostic arrangement. The first begins with Aleph, the second with... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

The length of our lessons in this book are determined rather arbitrarily by the length of the different psalms, or the special interest found in them. We have in mind weekly classes wishing to study the whole Bible in a connected way, and yet avoid tediousness in the process. The six psalms included in the last lesson might easily be read by the class in a week; and on the Lord’s Day, the teacher with the assistance of the questions, would have little difficulty in fastening the facts and their... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:0 [Note. In the Septuagint and the Vulgate, Psalms 9:0 and Psalms 10:0 are combined into one. It is supposed that Psalms 33:0 had apparently by mistake been joined to Psalms 32:0 before the collection was made, but Psalms 9:0 and Psalms 10:0 . had not then been separated. From a literary point of view the psalm was originally alphabetical, partaking of the nature of an acrostic. The title is "Muth-Labben," the most perplexing of all titles. No conjecture of the meaning of the Hebrew as... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 9:15-17

What a sure destruction must overtake all the enemies of God and of his Christ. In this life misery, and the evils they intend for others, falling upon themselves; and in that which is to come, everlasting destruction. It should seem that the word Higgaion joined to Selah, was intended as if to make a double pause of entreaty on the Reader, to mark and consider the awfulness of such conduct, as opposing God and his Christ. Similar to that solemn call; Now consider this ye that forget God, lest... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:17

Hands. Caught in the very act, so that he cannot deny the crime. Here we find in Hebrew (Calmet) higaion sela, which St. Jerome renders, "by meditation for ever." (Haydock) --- Septuagint, Symmachus, and some Latin copies, "a canticle of the psalm's division," Greek: diapsalmatos. Here perhaps the psalm ended. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:11-20

11-20 Those who believe that God is greatly to be praised, not only desire to praise him better themselves, but desire that others may join with them. There is a day coming, when it will appear that he has not forgotten the cry of the humble; neither the cry of their blood, or the cry of their prayers. We are never brought so low, so near to death, but God can raise us up. If he has saved us from spiritual and eternal death, we may thence hope, that in all our distresses he will be a very... read more

A Prophetic View of the Victory of Faith v. 7. But the Lord shall endure forever, sitting secure on the throne of His majesty; He hath prepared His throne for judgment, and the last Great Day is foreshadowed by every individual punishment upon nations. v. 8.
