Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:1-20Psalms 7:1-17; Psalms 9:1-20 are connected by the recurrence of the two thoughts of God as the Judge of nations and the wicked falling into the pit which he digged. Probably the original arrangement of the Psalter put these two next each other, and Psalms 8:1-9 was inserted later.Psalms 9:1-20 is imperfectly acrostic. It falls into strains of two verses each, which are marked by sequence of thought as well as by the acrostic arrangement. The first begins with Aleph, the second with... read more

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. It is supposed that Psalms 33:0 had apparently by mistake been joined to Psalms 32:0 before the collection was made, but Psalms 9:0 and Psalms 10:0 . had not then been separated. From a literary point of view the psalm was originally alphabetical, partaking of the nature of an acrostic. The title is "Muth-Labben," the most perplexing of all titles. No conjecture of the meaning of the Hebrew as... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 9:7-10

Here, by a change of person in the speaker, we find a beautiful transition made to Christ himself, in which the sacred writer is celebrating the glories of his person, and the greatness, and extensiveness, and everlasting duration of his kingdom, and by contrasting his monarchy to that of all created power, the glories of his mediatorial reign is set forth most blessedly. Reader, do not hastily pass over the several precious things here said of our almighty Sovereign. He, thy Brother, as well... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:1-10

1-10 If we would praise God acceptably, we must praise him in sincerity, with our whole heart. When we give thanks for some one particular mercy, we should remember former mercies. Our joy must not be in the gift, so much as in the Giver. The triumphs of the Redeemer ought to be the triumphs of the redeemed. The almighty power of God is that which the strongest and stoutest of his enemies are no way able to stand before. We are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth, and that with... read more
