Psalm 108:5-6

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 108:1-5

We may here learn how to praise God from the example of one who was master of the art. 1. We must praise God with fixedness of heart. Our heart must be employed in the duty (else we make nothing of it) and engaged to the duty (Ps. 108:1): O God! my heart is fixed, and then I will sing and give praise. Wandering straggling thoughts must be gathered in, and kept close to the business; for they must be told that here is work enough for them all. 2. We must praise God with freeness of expression:... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 108:6-13

We may here learn how to pray as well as praise. 1. We must be public-spirited in prayer, and bear upon our hearts, at the throne of grace, the concerns of the church of God, Ps. 108:6. It is God's beloved, and therefore must be ours; and therefore we must pray for its deliverance, and reckon that we are answered if God grant what we ask for his church, though he delay to give us what we ask for ourselves. ?Save thy church, and thou answerest me; I have what I would have.? Let the earth be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 108:1-13

Triumph in trouble. The words of which this psalm is composed were written after a reverse, or in the midst of strife, but also after a Divine promise ( Psalms 108:7 ) which was the assurance of success; they breathe a spirit not merely of serenity, but even of triumph; and they bear with them the lesson, that in the time of trouble we may be so sustained by the Word of God that we may even exult in the prospect before us. I. THE PRESENCE OF ADVERSITY . Behind us is defeat ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 108:1-13

"This psalm is a compilation formed by combining the last five verses of Psalms 57:1-11 with the last eight verses of Psalms 60:1-12 ; the latter being itself a compilation." It is ascribed to David because the original passages both occur in psalms ascribed to him. But Bishop Perowne thinks that some later poet probably adapted them to circumstances of his own time; possibly wishing thus to commemorate some victory over Edom or Philistia. For homiletic treatment, see the above-named... read more
