James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 118:1-29

The first psalm in this lesson is one of the imprecatory or cursing psalms, in the interpretation of which we should keep in mind the principles already stated: (1) that the writer speaks as a prophet; (2) that the enemies are not merely personal to him but enemies of God; (3) that they are not individuals so much as nations; and (4) that they are considered at a time when the incorrigible condition has been reached, and they have become permanently fixed in opposition to the Most High. The... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 118:24

The day here spoken of, it should seem, is the glorious day of the gospel; to which the eyes of the patriarchs and prophets were unweariedly looking, called in scripture, The day of the Messiah, The day of the Lord's coming. Reader! if the very prospect of that day filled the souls of the faithful, before Christ came, with such joy, with what rapture ought you and I to welcome and celebrate it, in ordinances, in sabbaths, and in every means of grace, which Jesus hath brought in with this day of... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 118:24

Counsel. Hebrew, "the princes of my counsel." (Houbigant) in opposition to those who endeavoured to make him fall, ver. 23. (Haydock) --- The laws of God afford the best advice. An ancient king observed, that the dead were the best counsellors, as they will not flatter, &c. (Calmet) --- In every trial, we must reflect on the rewards and punishments held out.

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 118:1-29

A Psalm for Festival Services. This hymn, written altogether in the style of David, bears a liturgical character and was, in fact, used in the Jewish Church upon the occasion of the great festivals, as part of their great hallel, chanted during the time when the Temple-offerings were brought, as well as by the individual families in the intervals of the Passover-meal, although it may originally have been composed for use at the Feast of Tabernacles. Sections of the psalm were in such general... read more

Psalms 118:01 O give thanks unto the Lord;For he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever2 Let Israel now say,That His mercy endureth for ever.3 Let the house of Aaron now say,That his mercy endureth for ever.4 Let them now that fear the Lord say,That his mercy endureth for ever.5 I called upon the Lord in distress:The Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.6 The Lord is on my side;I will not fear: what can man do unto me?7 The Lord taketh my part... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 118:15-29

a New Way in a New Day Psalms 118:15-29 As we draw near the mellowing light of the sanctuary we see more deeply into the divine meaning of our experiences. In Psalms 118:13 , “ Thou [the enemy] didst thrust sore at me,” but in Psalms 118:18 , “ The Lord hath chastened me sore.” Our Lord and His Apostles made much use of Psalms 118:22 . See Matthew 21:42 ; Acts 4:11 ; Ephesians 2:20 ; 1 Peter 2:4-7 . It probably refers to an incident in the building of the Temple, when a rejected stone was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 118:1-29

This is the sixth and last of the Hallel. It is the song of perfect victory, and was undoubtedly arranged to be sung by the triumphal procession as it made its way to the Temple for thanksgiving and worship. It is almost impossible however to trace its divisions in that way. As to its subject-matter it may be thus divided: Introduction. The Call to Praise (vv. Psa 118:1-4 ). The threefold Song of Israel, of Aaron, of the People (vv. Psa 118:5-27 ). Conclusion (vv. Psa 118:28-29 ). The call... read more
