Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 66:1-20

Nothing But Miracles Psalms 66:6 That is really all I can say; if I were to add anything to that I would be adding prose to poetry, and poor, bald, rough paint to the finest colours used by finest artists. When will people believe that the text is the sermon? In this case we have sermon and text in one most surely. 'They went through the flood on foot.' Believe it, and you are a Christian; deny it, and you leave the Church, turn your back on the so-called sanctuary, and become your own altar... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 66:1-20

Psalms 66:1-20THE most striking feature of this psalm is the transition from the plural "we" and "our," in Psalms 66:1-12, to the singular "I" and "my," in Psalms 66:13-20. Ewald supposes that two independent psalms have been united, but Psalms 66:12 is as abrupt for an ending as Psalms 66:13 is for a beginning; and the "Come, hear," of Psalms 66:16 echoes the "Come, and see," of Psalms 66:5. It is possible that "the ‘I’ of the second part is identical with the ‘we’ of the first; in other... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 66:1-20

Psalms 66:0 The Praise and Worship of the Millennium 1. What God hath wrought! (Psalms 66:1-7 ) 2. Israel’s praise and worship (Psalms 66:8-20 ) “Shout aloud unto God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His Name, ascribe to Him glory, in His praise.” This will be done in the coming kingdom age. And Israel will be the leader of that praise, calling upon the nations to join into the glory song. “All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing unto Thee, they shall sing Thy Name, Israel will... read more

66:16 {i} Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.(i) It is not enough to have received God’s benefits and to be mindful of it, but also we are bound to make others profit by it and praise God. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 66:16-20

If we consider, in the first place, David's Lord as the preacher here, these verses will be very blessed to our view. How was Christ exercised in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, onto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared? Hebrews 5:7 . And who so eminently as Christ could adopt this language? Who but Jesus could say, that iniquity had not been regarded in his heart? Of whom but Christ... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:13-20

13-20 We should declare unto those that fear God, what he has done for our souls, and how he has heard and answered our prayers, inviting them to join us in prayer and praise; this will turn to our mutual comfort, and to the glory of God. We cannot share these spiritual privileges, if we retain the love of sin in our hearts, though we refrain from the gross practice, Sin, regarded in the heart, will spoil the comfort and success of prayer; for the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of... read more

“Let All the Peoples Praise Thee” Psalms 66:16-20 ; Psalms 67:1-7 Come and hear, Psalms 66:16-20 The psalm began with Come and see, Psalms 66:5 . Compare Mark 5:19-20 ; John 4:29 . It will be one of the employments of heaven to go from group to group to tell what God has done for us. But each hearer will have a tale as wonderful as ours. We must praise without stint, and pray with pure and unselfish motives. From such prayers God will not turn away. Psalms 67:1-7 , like Psalms 65:1-13 ,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 66:1-20

This is one of the most beautiful of the songs of worship. It is divided into two parts by a change from the use of the plural pronoun (verses Psa 66:1-12 ) to the use of the singular (verses Psa 66:13-20 ). In the first part all the earth is called on to worship God because of what He has done for His people. This is a recognition of the true function of the people of God, which is to reveal God to the outside nations in such a way as to constrain them to worship. In the second half the... read more
