Psalm 58:6-7

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 58:1-11

Psalms 58:1-11THIS psalmist’s fiery indignation against unjust judges and evil-doers generally is not kindled by personal wrongs. The psalm comes hot from a heart lacerated by the sight of widespread corruption, and constrained to seek for patience in the thought of the swift sweeping away of evil men before their plans are effected. Stern triumph in the punitive manifestations of God’s rule, and keen sense of the need of such, are its keynotes. Vehement emotion stirs the poet’s imagination to... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 58:1-11

Psalms 58:0 A Judgment Psalm 1. Why God must judge (Psalms 58:1-5 ) 2. The judgment executed (Psalms 58:6-11 ) “Do ye of a truth in silence speak righteousness?” (literal rendering of the first verse). Righteousness is not heard on earth. Wickedness and violence are on the earth, therefore God must arise and deal with these conditions in judgment. It will overtake the wicked and the imprecatory prayers will be answered. Then the righteous will be glad when he seeth the vengeance and it... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 58:7

58:7 Let them {f} melt away as waters [which] run continually: [when] he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.(f) Considering God’s divine power, he shows that God in a moment can destroy their force of which they brag. read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 58:6-9

This appeal to God comes in very suitably after what was before observed. If we accept the expressions as prayers for grace, or the destruction of the irrecoverable foes of Christ, they are very strong and direct. Jesus on the cross graciously prayed for the forgiveness of his enemies. The heart must be broken for sin, before that it can be brought to be in love with Jesus. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 58:6

No mercy. Nehemias uses the like prophetic threats, 2 Esdras iv. 5. (Calmet) --- "Every sin must be punished, either by the penitent, or by an avenging God." The prophet supposes that his enemies died impenitent. (St. Augustine) --- When the gospel was first preached, God visited the world with various afflictions, to make people enter into themselves. (Eusebius) --- The prophet prays that God would visit all nations with peace, and punish obstinate persecutors of the Catholic Church.... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 58:7

Evening, when they came to take David. But, out of regard for Michol, they providentially waited till he had escaped, 2 Kings xix. (Haydock) --- Nehemias was obliged to watch continually, 2 Esdras iv. 11, 23. (Calmet) --- The Jews will embrace the faith at the end of the world, (St. Augustine) or they will be destroyed (St. Hilary) or banished by Titus and Adrian (A.D. 137); the latter of whom forbade them even to look at Jerusalem from an eminence. They could not enter it in the time of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 58:6-11

6-11 David prayed that the enemies of God's church and people might be disabled to do further mischief. We may, in faith, pray against the designs of the enemies of the church. He foretells their ruin. And who knows the power of God's anger? The victories of the Just One, in his own person and that of his servants, over the enemies of man's salvation, produce a joy which springs not from revenge, but from a view of the Divine mercy, justice, and truth, shown in the redemption of the elect, the... read more

Cheth. True Piety the Calling of the Believers. v. 57. Thou art my Portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Thy words.

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 58:1-11

Psalms 58:0To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation?Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness;Ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.3 The wicked are estranged from the womb:They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;5 Which will not hearken to the voice of... read more
