Psalm 66:16

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:16-20

b) A Call To Consider The Way In Which God Has Answered His (or their) Prayer Because His (their) Heart Was Right Towards God (Psalms 66:16-20 ). The Psalm ends with an emphasis on the fact that God has answered prayer. The king was an intercessory priest after the order of Melchizedek (see introduction to the Psalm above). But this would do no good unless his heart was pure before God. He recognised that it was only when he approached God as one who was right with Him, that his prayer was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:1-20

LXVI. A and LXVI. B. Here again we have two Pss., rather unskilfully joined together, for the former ends, the latter begins abruptly. In Psalms 66 A ( Psalms 66:1-2 Kings :) the speaker always uses the first person plural in speaking of himself. He represents the people, or at least a section of the people. He deals with matters of public concern. In Psalms 66 B ( Psalms 66:13-Proverbs :) the poet uses the singular number and thanks God for grace bestowed upon himself personally. LXVI. A.... read more

All ye that fear God; whether Israelites, or Gentiles proselyted to them. Let every Israelite take notice of what God hath done for the nation in general, and let the Gentiles observe God’s goodness to the children of Israel. What he hath done for my soul; which he hath held in life, as he said, Psalms 66:16, in the greatest dangers of death. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 66:16

Psalms 66:16 Gratitude towards God and generosity towards man these are two of the marked features in the character of David. In the text he gathers, as it were, a little select congregation around him of those who, like himself, had had experience of God's goodness. He asks them to join with him in praising and blessing God; and he instructs them, and strengthens them, and encourages them by recounting to them what God had done for himself. I. We declare with thankfulness what God hath done... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 66:1-20

This in the Greek is called a psalm of the resurrection, no doubt because God had in David’s time revived the nation. The application to the captivity is unsupported by the language of joy. David here utters many sentiments like those in the fortieth psalm. Psalms 66:13 . I will pay thee my vows. Those which he had made before a battle, or in some great trouble. It was usual in war to make vows to the Lord. Psalms 66:16 . I will declare what he hath done for my soul. Good men among the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 66:1-20

Psalms 66:1-20Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands.ProvidenceThe real theme of this psalm is in the last section: it is a psalm of thanksgiving for a special mercy experienced by an individual. But the account of this special providence is prefaced by two sections descriptive of the providence of God in general. This is in accordance with a law of the spiritual life. Those who enter into real experience of their own are thereby united with the entire religious experience of the race.... read more
