Psalm 34:10

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 34:10

Psalms STRUGGLING AND SEEKING Psa_34:10 . If we may trust the superscription of this psalm, it was written by David at one of the very darkest days of his wanderings, probably in the Cave of Adullam, where he had gathered around him a band of outlaws, and was living, to all appearance, a life uncommonly like that of a brigand chief, in the hills. One might have pardoned him if, at such a moment, some cloud of doubt or despondency had crept over his soul. But instead of that his words are... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 34:1-10

“Magnify the Lord with Me” Psalms 34:1-10 The event associated with this psalm is recorded in 1 Samuel 21:1-15 . It was not a very creditable incident. David, however, realized the goodness of God, notwithstanding his own failures and mistakes. In the original the verses begin with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Psalms 34:1 : At all times… continually. It is a sign of great grace to bless always, in dark as well as bright days. Psalms 34:3 : “Birds,” says Trapp, “when they come to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 34:1-22

In this psalm praise is personal. After the chorus of the last we have a solo full of feeling. It tells of the goodness of Jehovah and that in order that others may know and be helped. The opening declares this. The song is to be perpetual and the meek are to be made glad thereby. Then there is the desire to draw others into the same attitude of praise. It is good to go through simply to find the things Jehovah has done. "He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears." "They looked unto... read more

3). He Calls On The People To Taste Of YHWH, And To Learn To Fear Him (8-11). Psalms 34:8-11 T ‘Oh taste and see that YHWH is good, Blessed is the strong man (gbr) who takes refuge in him.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 34:10

The young lions; either, 1. Properly: see Job 4:11. Or, 2. Metaphorically so called, the great potentates of the earth, who are oft so called, as Jeremiah 2:15; Ezekiel 38:13; Nahum 2:13. Shall not want any good thing, which is necessary and truly good for them, all circumstances considered; of which God alone is a competent judge. And therefore although God doth usually take a special care to supply the wants of good men, and hath oft done it by extraordinary ways, when ordinary have failed,... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 34:1-22

INTRODUCTION“This psalm is assigned by the superscription to the occasion when David, persecuted by Saul, fled to the Philistines, and being brought before Achish was driven away by him as a madman (1 Samuel 21:12, see Psalms 7:0). There is no sufficient reason for rejecting the historical validity of this statement. The psalms generally rise above the level of the particular occasion, and dwell on general principles, and so it is here. This psalm is eucharistic and didactic. It is full of... read more

SPURGEON (1834-1892) "The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing." Psalms 34:10 . The young lions are very strong; they are as yet in the freshness of their youth, and yet their strength does not always suffice to keep them supplied. The young lions are very crafty; they understand how to waylay their... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 34:1-22 Psalms 34:1-22 is a psalm of David when he, it says, "changed his behavior, before Abimelech." Actually, it is probably the case of when he had gone down and Abimelech or Achish the king who drove him away and departed. Now David, when he was fleeing from Saul, Saul was trying to kill him, he fled into the land of the Philistines and he was brought to the Philistine king, Achish. And suddenly David thought, "Hey, here I am, and the Philistines hate me," because he had killed... read more
