Salmos 50:14-156 NTV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 50:7-15

God is here dealing with those that placed all their religion in the observances of the ceremonial law, and thought those sufficient. I. He lays down the original contract between him and Israel, in which they had avouched him to be their God, and he them to be his people, and so both parties were agreed (Ps. 50:7): Hear, O my people! and I will speak. Note, It is justly expected that whatever others doe, when he speaks, his people should give ear; who will, if they do not? And then we may... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 50:16-23

God, by the psalmist, having instructed his people in the right way of worshipping him and keeping up their communion with him, here directs his speech to the wicked, to hypocrites, whether they were such as professed the Jewish or the Christian religion: hypocrisy is wickedness for which God will judge. Observe here, I. The charge drawn up against them. 1. They are charged with invading and usurping the honours and privileges of religion (Ps. 50:16): What has thou to do, O wicked man! to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:14

Offer unto God thanksgiving ,.... Which is a sacrifice, Psalm 50:23 ; and the Jews say F24 Vajikra Rabba, fol. 153. 1. & 168. 4. , that all sacrifices will cease in future time, the times of the Messiah, but the sacrifice of praise; and this should be offered up for all mercies, temporal and spiritual; and unto God, because they all come from him; and because such sacrifices are well pleasing to him, and are no other than our reasonable service, and agreeably to his will; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:15

And call upon me in the day of trouble ,.... This is another part of spiritual sacrifice or worship, which is much more acceptable to God than legal sacrifices. Invocation of God includes all parts of religious worship, and particularly designs prayer, as it does here, of which God, and he only, is the object; and which should be performed in faith, in sincerity, and with fervency; and though it should be made at all times, in private and in public, yet more especially should be attended to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:16

But unto the wicked God saith ,.... By whom are meant, not openly profane sinners; but men under a profession of religion, and indeed who were teachers of others, as appears from the following expostulation with them: the Scribes, Pharisees, and doctors among the Jews, are designed; and so Kimchi interprets it of their wise men, who learnt and taught the law, but did not act according to it. It seems as if the preceding verses respected the truly godly among the Jews, who believed in Christ,... read more

Seeing thou hatest instruction ,.... Or "correction" F26 מוסד "correctionem", Vatablus; "correptionem", Gejerus. ; to be reproved or reformed by the statutes and covenant they declared to others; they taught others, but not themselves, Romans 2:21 ; or evangelical instruction, the doctrines of grace, and of Christ; for, as concerning the Gospel, they were enemies, Romans 11:28 ; and since they were haters of that, they ought not to have been teachers of others; and castest my... read more

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him ,.... Or "didst run with him" F1 תרץ עמו συνετρεχες αυτω , Sept. "currebas cum eo", V. L. sic Eth. Syr. Targum, so Vatablus, Musculus, Piscator, Ainsworth. ; joined and agreed with him in the commission of the same things; which was literally true of the Scribes and Pharisees: they devoured widows' houses, and robbed them of their substance, under a pretence of long prayers; they consented to the deeds of Barabbas, a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:19

Thou givest thy mouth to evil ,.... To speak evil things against Christ, his doctrines, ordinances, ministers and people; and to deliver out evil doctrines, pernicious to the souls of men; and thy tongue frameth deceit ; puts and joins together deceitful words in a very artful manner, by which simple and unstable minds are beguiled. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:20

Thou sittest ,.... Either in the chair of Moses, or on the seat of judgment, in the great sanhedrim of the nation; or, as Aben Ezra paraphrases it, "in the seat of the scornful"; and speakest against thy brother ; even to pass sentence upon him, to put him to death for professing faith in Christ, Matthew 10:21 ; thou slanderest thine own mother's son ; the apostles and disciples of Christ, who were their brethren and kinsmen according to the flesh; and even our Lord Jesus Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:21

These things hast thou done ,.... "These evil works", as the Targum; which they had done over and over again without remorse, with the greatest pleasure, and with promises of impunity to themselves. This is a confirmation of the charge made by the omniscient God, who saw and knew all their actions; and I kept silence ; spoke not by terrible things in righteousness, deferred the execution of judgment, exercised forbearance and patience, and gave space to repent; which being despised, they... read more
