Psalm 9:7 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 9:1-10

The title of this psalm gives a very uncertain sound concerning the occasion of penning it. It is upon Muth-labben, which some make to refer to the death of Goliath, others of Nabal, others of Absalom; but I incline to think it signifies only some tone, or some musical instrument, to which this psalm was intended to be sung; and that the enemies David is here triumphing in the defeat of are the Philistines, and the other neighbouring nations that opposed his settlement in the throne, whom he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Praise for the destroyer's destruction. The title of this psalm is obscure. Its archaisms cannot now be satisfactorily explained. And even a reference to the most learned expositors may possibly only increase the confusion. £ The title, indeed, is very suggestive. It reads, "Upon the death of Labben." Walford regards "Muth-labben" as the name of a musical instrument. For this we can find no warrant. The word muth , which is equivalent to "death," seems to put us on a line of thought... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:7

But the Lord shall endure for ever ; rather, but the Lord is seated ( i.e. upon his throne)for ever. Cities and nations perish, but Jehovah remains a King for evermore. While all is change and disturbance upon earth, the unchanged and unchangeable Eternal One continues constantly seated, in serene majesty, in heaven. He hath prepared (or rather, established ) his throne for judgment (compare the second clause of per. 4). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 9:7-12

A righteous God. Experience is the great teacher; and especially as to our knowledge of the Divine nature. From what God has done ( Psalms 9:3-6 ) we are able to learn what he is , viz. righteous, and a Helper of the oppressed. I. GOD 'S RULE IS A CONTINUAL EXERCISE OF JUDGMENT . ( Psalms 9:7-9 .) 1 . This seals the doom of the unrighteous. It will destroy them and their works ( Psalms 9:5 , Psalms 9:6 ). 2 . This secures the safety and the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 9:7

But the Lord shall endure for ever - Yahweh is eternal - always the same. Though these cities have become desolate, and the enemy has been permitted to triumph, and nations and people have passed away, yet God is ever the same, unaffected by these changes and desolations, and in due time he will always interfere and vindicate his own character, and defend the oppressed and the wronged.He hath prepared his throne for judgment - See Psalms 9:4. He sits as a just judge among the nations, and he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 9:7-9

Psalms 9:7-9. But the Lord shall endure for ever Though cities and people may perish, yet the Lord abides for ever. Which is sufficient for the terror of his enemies, and the comfort of his church. He hath prepared his throne Or, established it by his immutable purpose and his irrevocable promise. And he shall judge the world Not you only, but all the enemies of his people and all the men in the world. The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed God will not only judge the world at... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9-10 God fights for the oppressedIn Psalms 9:0 and 10 we meet another kind of Hebrew verse, the acrostic. (Other acrostics are Psalms 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119 and 145.) In an acrostic the first word of each verse (or stanza) begins with a different letter of the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet, moving in order, so to speak, ‘from A to Z’. The acrostic in this case moves unbroken through Psalms 9:0 and 10, indicating that originally they probably formed one psalm. The absence of a heading to... read more
