Psalm 9:11 Esv
James Burton Coffman
Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 9:11
"Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:Declare among the people his doings.For he that maketh inquisitions for blood remembereth them;He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.""Jehovah ... dwelleth in Zion." This is a reference to God's personal presence in Jerusalem, as manifested in the tabernacle and in the temple."He that maketh inquisitions for blood." This refers to the fact that God inquires and demands an explanation regarding every instance of a murderer's slaying his victim, as... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 9:1-20
Psalms 9The Septuagint translators combined Psalms 9, 10 into one psalm, even though they are separate in the Hebrew text. Consequently, from this psalm through Psalms 147, the numbering of the psalms in the Roman Catholic versions of the Bible differs from the numbering in the Protestant versions. The Roman Catholic versions follow the Septuagint (Greek) and Vulgate (Latin) versions, whereas the Protestant versions follow the Hebrew Bible. Twice the Septuagint translators combined or... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 9:11-12
David closed this pericope of praise (Psalms 9:1-12), by appealing to the afflicted and oppressed, to praise God and testify to others about God’s care of them. The NIV and marginal NASB reading "avenges bloodshed" (Psalms 9:12) more clearly expresses David’s thought than "requires blood" (cf. Genesis 9:5). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:1-20
Psalms 9, 10 are combined in LXX, and there is certainly a real, though obscure, relationship between them. The two together form one ’acrostic,’ the vv. beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet, though in both Pss. there is a gap in the arrangement. The subject matter of the two Pss., however, does not suggest that we have in tbem the two halves of what was originally a single Ps. Psalms 9 is distinctly national and Psalms 10 as distinctly personal, and though both may be... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 9:1-20
Psalms 9:10 The name of God always means, in the Bible, the nature and character of God. Our religion in its very essence necessarily depends upon our conception of the nature and character of our God. Your idea of God, your belief about what He is in nature and character, is bound to colour all your relations to Him. I might, of course, say a great deal about the conception of God which is given to us in the Christian revelation, but for the many things that might be said I shall just now... read more

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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20
Psalms 9-10 God fights for the oppressedIn Psalms 9:0 and 10 we meet another kind of Hebrew verse, the acrostic. (Other acrostics are Psalms 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119 and 145.) In an acrostic the first word of each verse (or stanza) begins with a different letter of the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet, moving in order, so to speak, ‘from A to Z’. The acrostic in this case moves unbroken through Psalms 9:0 and 10, indicating that originally they probably formed one psalm. The absence of a heading to... read more
