psalm-94:19

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 94:1-23

Psalms 94:9-10 These verses assert that in due time God will act, for He cannot be otherwise than a God of knowledge, deep in whose heart counsels of inviolable righteousness lie hidden. He is always cognisant of what goes on in the world, and especially heedful of the cries and supplications of His own people. These acts of oppression, done to the fatherless and the widow, do not elude His notice. Drop by drop He counts the innocent blood that falls upon the green world He has made and bends... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 94:1-23

Psalms 94:1-23THE theme of God the Judge is closely allied to that of God the King, as other psalms of this group show, in which His coming to judge the world is the subject of rapturous praise. This psalm hymns Jehovah’s retributive sway, for which it passionately cries, and in which it confidently trusts. Israel is oppressed by insolent rulers, who have poisoned the fountains of justice, condemning the innocent, enacting unrighteous laws, and making a prey of all the helpless. These "judges... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 94:1-23

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 94:19

This is a precious verse. Happy the soul that can adopt the same language! When carnal men are in trouble, they will be turning from one earthly comfort to another, to find relief. But when a child of God is in sorrow, he knows that nothing but the same hand that wounds can heal. Oh! what blessedness will he then find in that promise, brought home and applied to the soul by the Holy Ghost: I, even I, am he that comforteth you. Isaiah 51:12 . How truly blessed is it in trouble to look to Christ... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:12-23

12-23 That man is blessed, who, under the chastening of the Lord, is taught his will and his truths, from his holy word, and by the Holy Spirit. He should see mercy through his sufferings. There is a rest remaining for the people of God after the days of their adversity, which shall not last always. He that sends the trouble, will send the rest. The psalmist found succour and relief only in the Lord, when all earthly friends failed. We are beholden, not only to God's power, but to his pity, for... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 94:1-23

Against Tyrants in the Church. The psalmist, whose name is not given, appeals to God in view of the oppression of the adversaries, who included not only the enemies from without, but also the tyrants within the external organization of the Church. v. 1. O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show Thyself. The statement yielding all judicial power to the Lord alone is followed by the request that He should shine forth, make known His judicial authority by... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 94:6-23

the Lord Our Defense against Evil-Doers Psalms 94:6-23 Let us ponder all the great things that God will do for them that trust Him. He planted the ear, and will detect the sigh, sob, or broken utterance of His child, Psalms 94:9 . He formed the eye, and He knows our sorrows. He watches the sparrow’s fall, and His child is of more value than many sparrows. He corrects us; shall we not be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live, Psalms 94:10 ? He knows our thoughts; let us ask Him to... read more
