Psalm 9:1-5

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 9:4

(4) Thou hast maintained my right.—Literally, thou hast made my judgment, as the LXX. and Vulg. For this confidence in the supreme arbiter of events compare Shakespeare:—“Is this your Christian counsel? Out upon you!Heaven is above all yet. There sits a JudgeThat no king can corrupt.”—Henry VIII. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 9:5

(5) Put out.—Better, blotted out. The family is extinct and its name erased from the civil register. (See Psalms 69:28; Psalms 109:13.) The Daleth stanza is wanting. read more

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

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 9:1

In singing or reading this Psalm, it will be profitable to have an eye to Christ. To the chief Musician on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. The title of this Psalm "upon Muth-labben" is very obscure. Some have thought it refers to the death of a particular enemy. And others have concluded it means a certain tune or instrument. But the sweet spiritual sense of the... read more
