Psalm 116:11 ASV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 116:11

Psalms 116:11. I said in my haste Yet once, I confess, I spoke very unadvisedly, through precipitation of mind, for want of due consideration, as the same phrase, בחפזי , bechophzi, is used Psalms 31:22. It may, however, be rendered, in my terror, or amazement, that is, when I was discomposed, and almost distracted with the greatness of my troubles. All men are liars There is no credit to be given to their promises of deliverance; I am lost and undone. Thus understood, he questions... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 116:1-19

Psalms 115-117 Saved from deathGod was always faithful to Israel, though the Israelites were often unfaithful to him. Their sins brought God’s punishment upon them, causing their pagan neighbours to mock them with the accusation that their God was unable to help them and had deserted them (115:1-2). The Israelites reply that their God is alive and in full control. The pagan gods, by contrast, are useless, and the reason they are useless is that they are lifeless. Those who trust in them will... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 116:10-11

Psalms 116:10-11. I believed, therefore have I spoken— I believed (for I will speak it; I was very low), I said in my haste, The whole race of man is a lie. These two verses express the low state of spirits to which he had been reduced. Thus Mudge. Green, referring the verses to David, translates them thus; I spoke, because I believed it: (I was in great affliction) and I said in my flight, [namely, from Absalom] All men are deceitful. Mr. Fenwick has it, I now believe; but yet I own, So very... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 116:1-19

Psalms 116An unnamed writer gave thanks to God for delivering him from imminent death and for lengthening his life. He promised to praise God in the temple for these blessings. This is a hymn of individual thanksgiving.". . . if ever a psalm had the marks of spontaneity, this is surely such a one." [Note: Kidner, Psalms 73-150, p. 407.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 116:7-11

There are lessons people should learn from this deliverance. First, believers can rest because God delivers from death (Psalms 116:7-8). Second, people to whom God extends His grace should obey him the rest of their lives (Psalms 116:9). Third, only God is completely trustworthy (Psalms 116:10-11). The writer said he believed he would live, having requested deliverance of God (cf. Psalms 116:9). This was his confidence, even though other people told him he would die. They were lying to him.Read... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 116:1-19

Psalms 115-118 were probably the hymns sung by our Lord and His disciples. Some modern scholars, however, deny this, on the ground that, in Christ’s time, the Hallel was only in its beginning, and consisted simply of Psalms 113, or, at moat, also of Psalms 114 : see Matthew 26:30; Mark 14:26. Psalms 116 is apparently a song of thanksgiving after severe illness, but the Ps. has been used by both churches and individuals in spiritual as well as temporal deliverances. The Psalmist’s experiences... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 116:10-11

(10, 11) I believed, therefore have I spoken.—This is the rendering of LXX. and Vulg., and it has become almost proverbial from St. Paul’s adaptation of it (2 Corinthians 4:13; see New Testament Commentary). And no doubt this is the sense of the words, though the particle khî has been taken in a wrong connection. Mr. Burgess has certainly given the true explanation of the use of this particle. It sometimes follows instead of preceding the verb affected by it. We must render, It is because I... read more
