Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 63:10

They shall fall by the sword - Margin, They shall make him run out like water by the hands of the sword. The word rendered in the text “they shall fall,” and in the margin “they shall make him run out” - נגר nâgar - means properly, to flow, to pour out, as water; and then, to pour out; then, to give up or deliver. The idea here is that of delivering over, as one pours out water from a basin or pitcher: they shall be delivered over to the sword. The original rendered “sword” is, as in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 63:11

But the king shall rejoice in God - This passage, as was remarked in the Introduction to the psalm, shows that this psalm could not have been composed in the time of Saul, since the title king was not then given to David. The use of the term here in the third person does not prove that the psalm could not have been written by David himself, for he may have spoken of himself simply as “the king,” and all the more forcibly and properly as he was driven unjustly from his throne, and was now an... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 63:9-10

Psalms 63:9-10. But those that seek my soul, &c. That seek to take away my life; shall go into the lower parts of the earth Into the grave; and, if they repent not, into hell. God shall cut them off, and send them to their own place. Their enmity to David, and opposition to the counsel of God respecting him, he foresaw would be their death and their damnation, their ruin and their eternal ruin. They shall fall by the sword Shall die in battle, as he foretold 1 Samuel 26:10, and as... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 63:11

Psalms 63:11. But the king shall rejoice in God I, who am anointed to be king, and who shall actually be king when these my enemies are fallen by the sword. Every one that sweareth by him By the name of God, namely, in truth, and judgment, and righteousness, as it is expressed Jeremiah 4:2, that is, every sincere servant and worshipper of God that invokes his name, and makes him the object of his religious reverence and fear: all which is implied in swearing by him, as an oath... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 63:1-11

Psalms 61-64 Longing for GodFar from home, weary, depressed and in danger, David seeks refuge and refreshment with God. He trusts that God will bring him safely back to Jerusalem and give him the strength to carry out his promise to lead God’s people in God’s ways (61:1-5). The people with him add their support to his request (6-7), and David responds that he will always remain faithful to his task (8).God alone is the strength of David’s assurance (62:1-2). David’s enemies think they can ruin... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 63:10

Psalms 63:10. They shall fall, &c.— Their blood shall gush out by the edge of the sword. The verb properly signifies the boiling of water in a pot; when, through the violence of the heat, it is thrown out of it: and, from hence, it figuratively denotes the bursting or boiling out of the blood from the wound of a sword, or any other deadly instrument. Virgil, in a very lively manner, has expressed it by another almost similar word: Tum caput ipsi aufert domino, truncumque reliquit Sanguine... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 63:11

Psalms 63:11. But the king shall rejoice— David was king by designation, and anointed when he was in the wilderness of Judah; but had not then taken the title, and was not advanced to the throne. Hence M. Le Clerc and others think that this psalm could not be written by him when he sojourned in the wilderness. But I apprehend that this objection is but of little force; for all that he affirms is, that when his enemies shall be destroyed, then the king shall rejoice in God; speaking of himself... read more
