Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:11-12

‘Sing praises to YHWH, who dwells in Zion: Declare among the peoples his doings. For he who makes official enquiry for blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the poor.’ Indeed all the peoples, and not only Israel, are to know the praises of the One Who dwells in Zion, where His earthly Dwellingplace (Tabernacle) has been set up. For His doings are to be declared to them, that they may do so. And these doings encompass His enquiries into all crimes committed against them, especially... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 9:1-20

9 and 10. Yahweh the Refuge of His People.— These two Pss., divided in MT, were originally one, This is proved by the fact that they are one in LXX. and Vulg., by the absence of title over Psalms 10, and, conclusively, by the evidence that 9 and 10 form one acrostic poem. It was arranged in strophes of four lines each, the first letter of each strophe being one of the letters of the Heb. alphabet in regular succession. This system is carried out in the whole of Psalms 9-2 in Psalms 10. So far... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

INTRODUCTION“A psalm of thanksgiving (Psalms 9:1-2) after a victory (Psalms 9:3) over the heathen wrought by Divine judgment (Psalms 9:4-6), expressing confidence in His constant protection of the oppressed (Psalms 9:7-10); therefore the pious have to thank God (Psalms 9:11-12), and pray to Him in every time of need (Psalms 9:13-14). The judicial government of God causes the enemies finally to perish, and saves the sufferers (Psalms 9:15-18); therefore the prayer (Psalms 9:19-20), which shows... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:1-20 The ninth psalm is to the chief musician on Muthlabben. Muthlabben is the death of a son.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 9:1-20

Psalms 9:5 . Thou hast rebuked the heathen. A song in ancient time was made after every victory, a sort of Te Deum, to be sung in the congregation. The collection of those hallowed martial odes was called the Book of the wars of the Lord. The rabbins say that this psalm was composed after the fall of Goliath, and the defeat of the Philistines. They, and the Ammonites, had shed innocent blood. Psalms 9:12 . When he maketh inquisition for blood. The Ammonites, on the breaking out of the... read more
