Daily Prayer Psalms 34:1-22 'As it is the special work of a shoemaker to make shoes,' said Luther, 'and of a tailor to make coats, so it is the special work of a Christian to pray.' The true artist is an artist everywhere. His work in his studio is only a part of his artist life. So must the pious soul be devoted to prayer; his prayers will be only a part of his praying life. The servants of Madame de Chantal used to say of their mistress: 'Madame's first Director made her pray three times a... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 34:1-22THE occasion of this psalm, according to the superscription, was that humiliating and questionable episode, when David pretended insanity to save his life from the ruler of Goliath’s city of Gath. The set of critical opinion sweeps away this tradition as unworthy of serious refutation. The psalm is acrostic, therefore of late date; there are no references to the supposed occasion; the careless scribe has blundered "blindly" (Hupfeld) in the king’s name, mixing up the stories about... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 34:0 The Perfect Praise of His Redeemed People 1. His praise for salvation (Psalms 34:1-10 ) 2. The instructions of the righteous (Psalms 34:11-16 ) 3. His redemption remembered (Psalms 34:17-22 ) This is another alphabetical Psalm, only one letter is omitted. It is primarily the praise of David after his escape from Gath, as the inscription tells us. Prophetically it is the praise of His redeemed and delivered people, delivered from all their fears (Psalms 34:4 ) and saved out of... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 34:2-5

It is a blessed way so lo praise God as to invite other's to the same practice by our example; and when we not only invite by action, but by winning words. And the best evidence produced by way of propelling others to the praise of the Lord, is, when a soul can say, I have found him gracious. But Reader! is not Christ here strongly featured? Did not Jesus seek to the Lord, when, in the days of his flesh, he cried, and was heard in that he feared? Here then we find Christ. And what inference... read more

The ministry of angels is a very pleasing thought. Hebrews 1:14 ; Acts 12:6-11 But, Reader! let us ever keep in view the angel of the covenant, even He who is indeed both the covenant itself, and the messenger, administrator, and the whole of it. read more
