Psalm 9:18-20

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 9:18

The needy shall not alway be forgotten, though God for a time may seem to neglect or forget them, and suffer their enemies to triumph over them. Shall not perish; which negative particle is fitly understood out of the former clause, as it is Psalms 1:5; Psalms 44:18; Isaiah 23:4; Isaiah 28:27,Isaiah 28:28. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 9:20

Subdue their proud and insolent spirits, and strike them with terror, or with some terrible judgment. But men, Heb. weak, and miserable, and mortal men, and therefore altogether unable to oppose the omnipotent and eternal God. This he saith, because wicked men, when they are advanced to great power and majesty, are very prone to forget their own frailty, and to carry themselves as if they were gods. See Isaiah 31:3; Ezekiel 30:7,Ezekiel 30:8; Daniel 5:21. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

INTRODUCTION“A psalm of thanksgiving (Psalms 9:1-2) after a victory (Psalms 9:3) over the heathen wrought by Divine judgment (Psalms 9:4-6), expressing confidence in His constant protection of the oppressed (Psalms 9:7-10); therefore the pious have to thank God (Psalms 9:11-12), and pray to Him in every time of need (Psalms 9:13-14). The judicial government of God causes the enemies finally to perish, and saves the sufferers (Psalms 9:15-18); therefore the prayer (Psalms 9:19-20), which shows... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:1-20 The ninth psalm is to the chief musician on Muthlabben. Muthlabben is the death of a son. This could have been when Bathsheba's first son died.I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:5 . Thou hast rebuked the heathen. A song in ancient time was made after every victory, a sort of Te Deum, to be sung in the congregation. The collection of those hallowed martial odes was called the Book of the wars of the Lord. The rabbins say that this psalm was composed after the fall of Goliath, and the defeat of the Philistines. They, and the Ammonites, had shed innocent blood. Psalms 9:12 . When he maketh inquisition for blood. The Ammonites, on the breaking out of the... read more

Psalms 9:13-20Consider my trouble.A note of trouble in a triumph PsalmThe second part of the Psalm begins with Psalms 9:13. The prayer in that verse is the only trace of trouble in the Psalm. The rest is triumph and exaltation. This, at first discordant, note has sorely exercised commentators; and the violent solution that the whole of the Cheth stanza (verses 13, 14) should be regarded as “the cry of the meek,” quoted by the Psalmist, and therefore be put in inverted commas (though adopted by... read more

Psalms 9:18For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.Good cheer for the needyThe value of a text depends very much upon the man to whom it comes. The song of the troubadour was very charming to Richard, because he knew the responsive verses. The trail is full of meaning to the Indian, for his quick eye knows how to follow it. So will those who are spiritually poor and needy eagerly lay hold on this promise. It is literally true that the... read more

For though the queen fail, she that you hope for shall never... read more
