psalm-94:19

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 94:1-23

The placing of this song immediately after the one which sets forth the fact of the enthronement of Jehovah is remarkable. It creates a contrast, while it suggests a continuity of ideas. The contrast is seen in the fact that while the previous psalm celebrates the victory of Jehovah over all opposition, this one is an appeal to Him out of circumstances in which His enemies seem to triumph. The continuity of ideas is however, equally apparent. To who should His own turn in times of such... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 94:19

GOOD THOUGHTS IN BAD TIMES‘The multitude of my thoughts within me.’Psalms 94:19This psalm opens with two verses of introduction, in which God is asked to lift up Himself and to show Himself. For the time, He seemed to be far off or asleep. Apparently He had allowed the government of the world to slip from His fingers. Accordingly, the psalm calls Him back. I. The evils of misgovernment ( Psalms 94:3-Judges :).—In the preface to one of his volumes on the Psalter, Mr. Spurgeon confesses that in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:1-23

XCIV. A Prayer for Vengeance on Oppressive Rulers and for Deliverance from them. Psalms 94:1-Joshua : . The wickedness of the arrogant. The bad rulers here are evidently Jews. They are oppressors, not invaders, and their offences against the moral law are just those which the prophets had denounced in the Israel of their day. Psalms 94:7-1 Kings : . The practical (see on Psalms 14), not theoretical atheism of the arrogant. They thought God did not care for men’ s conduct. As if He who planted... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 94:19

In the multitude of my thoughts; whilst my heart was filled with various and perplexing thoughts, as this Hebrew word signifies, and tormented with cares and fears about my future state. Thy comforts; thy promises contained in thy word, and set home by thy Spirit upon my soul, and the remembrance of my former experiences of thy care and kindness to me. Compare Psalms 119:50,Psalms 119:76. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 94:1-23

INTRODUCTION“There is no superscription to this Psalm. There is no indication of its authorship, of the period at which it was written, or of the circumstances to which it refers. There are many of these anonymous hymns in God’s Book, nameless utterances, voices of the night of weeping, shouts from the mountain tops of thought, prayers unto the God of Life, which belong to no individual, can be fathered on no solitary period, but descend as an heirloom to successive ages, and enrich every... read more

DISCOURSE: 659COMFORT IN GODPsalms 94:19. In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.TO judge of the efficacy of Divine grace, we should see it in actual exercise, and under circumstances calculated to display its power. The writer of this psalm, whoever he was, (for respecting the author or the occasion of it we have no certain information,) was sorely oppressed under the sanction and authority of legal enactments. But he committed his cause to God; and warned his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 94:1-23

Psalms 94:1-23 :O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth ( Psalms 94:1 );Now, it's hard for us to remember that. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" ( Romans 12:19 ). So often we try to take vengeance ourselves against the evil that is done to us. So often we say or hear said, "I'll get even with him," as though it is our place to take vengeance.But LORD God, vengeance belongeth to thee ( Psalms 94:1 ),But he said now,show yourself ( Psalms 94:1 ).And take vengeance, Lord.Lift up... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 94:1-23

This psalm was written under great oppression, in a time of war, but it bears no marks of being written in Babylon, for then they had no hope to rise against the wicked: Psalms 94:16. Psalms 94:6 . They slay the widow, and the stranger, and the fatherless; that is, the rich and the landed interest, having frittered away the jubilee to little more than a name, would not allow the destitute more than half bread. Our land proprietors do the same, in many parts of this kingdom; they force the... read more

Psalms 94:1-23O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth . . . show Thyself.Persecutors and their victimsI. The awful condition of the wicked persecutor. The persecutors referred to (Psalms 94:1-10) are represented as “proud,” speaking “hard things,” as “workers of iniquity,” as “breaking in pieces” the people of God, as “slaying the widow and the stranger,” and “murdering the fatherless.” Every age and country has abounded with such oppressors, they are rife even in this land of liberty.1. They... read more

Psalms 94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul. Comfort amid disquieting thoughtsThe word here translated “thoughts” means thoughts of a pensive, anxious nature--thoughts which have in them nothing bright and pleasant; thoughts which yoke themselves with cares; which perplex and disturb and depress us; and which we are not very ready to speak about, but are rather inclined to keep to ourselves. Our text speaks of the “multitude” of such “thoughts.” They are... read more
