James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 55:22

A BURDEN-BEARING GOD‘Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.’Psalms 55:22A great part of the burden of daily life is the sin that is in it. Take out the sin, and there will not be much burden left. I. As regards those common burdens which every one bears, God says, ‘Cast thy burden on the Lord.’—It is very difficult to sympathise with one another’s burdens; and of course each, knowing only his own, thinks his own the heaviest. Christ alone can sympathise with all. But your... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 55:22-23

David Now Exhorts All Who Hear These Words To Do What He Does, By Casting Their Burden On YHWH, With The Assurance That He Can Be Trusted And Will Certainly Sustain The Righteous (Psalms 55:22-23 ) As so often happens in the Psalms, there is a change of theme at the end of the Psalm which has the worshippers who are using the Psalm primarily in view. Psalms 55:22 ‘Cast your burden on YHWH, And he will sustain you, He will never allow the righteous to be moved.’ He calls on all who are... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 55:22

Thy burden, or portion, Heb. gift; whatsoever affliction God giveth or sendeth to thee; for even the sufferings of good men are called God’s gifts in Scripture, Philippians 1:29; John 18:11. So it is a synecdochical expression. Or, whatsoever gift thou desirest from him. Although the following words of the verse seem to restrain it to afflictions. The sense is, All thy affairs, and crosses, and cares, and fears, lay them upon the shoulders of the Almighty by faith and prayer, with a confident... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 55:1-23

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician on Neginoth.” See introduction to Psalms 54:0 “Maschil,” an instruction. Hengstenberg: “The Psalmist wishes to show how, in such a situation of excitement, a person should conduct himself; how he should carry up what has occasioned it to God, and compose himself to rest again through the consideration of God’s love and righteousness.”Occasion.—We have no doubt that the psalm has an historical reference; but to what occasion it refers cannot now... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 55:22

Psalms 55:22 A great part of the burden of daily life is the sin that is in it. Take out the sin, and there will not be much burden left. I. As regards those common burdens which every one bears, God says, "Cast thy burden on the Lord." It is very difficult to sympathise with one another's burdens; and of course each, knowing only his own, thinks his own the heaviest. Christ alone can sympathise with all. But your burden is the one main thing you have to do with, suited for present discipline,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 55:1-23

Psalms 55:1-23 Psalms 55:1-23 :Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me ( Psalms 55:1-3 ).I told you, David was capable of inspiring hate or love. You either loved the guy or hated the guy. And the feelings towards David were quite strong. And he was always... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 55:1-23

Psalms 55:6 . Oh that I had wings like a dove, to outfly the hawks which seek my life. The Latin reads, Who will give me wings like a dove? But the English is preferable, as uttering the heart before the Lord. Psalms 55:13 . But it was thou. The Chaldaic reads, “But thou, Ahithophel.” Psalms 55:15 . Let death, seize upon them. These are the usual prayers before a battle. They were just prayers, such as God answered in the wood of Ephraim, where the rebels were forced over a... read more

Psalms 55:22Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.Grace to bear the burden laid on usI. See that your burdens are all of the Lord’s appointment. How many are the burdens that we make for ourselves, which we need not and ought not to bear. They are sinful, and we ought to cast them away.II. Expect from God proportioned strength. Why do you anticipate long reaches of future possibilities? You are vainly trying to break the faggot at once, which can only be overcome stick by... read more
