James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

The length of our lessons in this book are determined rather arbitrarily by the length of the different psalms, or the special interest found in them. We have in mind weekly classes wishing to study the whole Bible in a connected way, and yet avoid tediousness in the process. The six psalms included in the last lesson might easily be read by the class in a week; and on the Lord’s Day, the teacher with the assistance of the questions, would have little difficulty in fastening the facts and their... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:0 [Note. In the Septuagint and the Vulgate, Psalms 9:0 and Psalms 10:0 are combined into one.

No conjecture of the meaning of the Hebrew as... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:11-20

11-20 Those who believe that God is greatly to be praised, not only desire to praise him better themselves, but desire that others may join with them. There is a day coming, when it will appear that he has not forgotten the cry of the humble; neither the cry of their blood, or the cry of their prayers. We are never brought so low, so near to death, but God can raise us up. If he has saved us from spiritual and eternal death, we may thence hope, that in all our distresses he will be a very... read more
