Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 63:8-10

Because, From Deep Within Him, He Follows Hard After God , God’s Right Hand Upholds Him, So That Those Who Are Seeking To Destroy Him Will Themselves Be Destroyed (Psalms 63:8-10 ). From David’s inner thoughts springs inner action. His inner life follows hard after God. This is why God’s right hand upholds him, and deals firmly with his enemies. Psalms 63:8-10 ‘My inner life follows hard after you, Your right hand upholds me.’ And those who seek my inner life, to destroy it, Will go into the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 63:1-11

LXIII. Written by one who has seen God’ s glory in the Temple and resolved to praise Him all his life. He is confident his enemies will perish. Psalms 63:11 refers to a Hebrew king, possibly Maccabean. The language of the Ps. is late. Psalms 63:1 . Follow mg.— In a dry: read, “ as a dry.” As the parched soil pines for rain, so the Psalmist for union with God. Psalms 63:2 . So: read “ as.”— Place Psalms 63:4 immediately after Psalms 63:2. Psalms 63:6 . When has no apodosis: read “ also.”... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 63:8

Followeth hard after thee, i.e. pursueth thee eagerly, diligently, and resolvedly, and as it were step by step, when thou seemest to run away from me; which is the emphasis of this Hebrew word. My soul and spirit cleaveth to thee, as this verb signifies, Genesis 2:24; Jeremiah 13:11, when my body is absent from thy sanctuary. Upholdeth me: I do not lose my labour in following hard after thee; for though I am not, yet restored to the enjoyment of thy presence in thy house, yet I have present... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 63:1-11

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” Hengstenberg: “The wilderness of Judah is the whole wilderness towards the east of the tribe of Judah, bounded on the north by the tribe of Benjamin, stretching, southward to the south-west end of the Dead Sea, eastward to the Dead Sea and the Jordan, and westward to the mountains of Judah. This wilderness is not unfrequently designated simply The wilderness. In this wilderness David was often found when... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 63:1-11

Psalms 63:1-11 This Psalm, with its passion of love and mystic rapture, is a monument for us of how the writer's sorrows had brought to him a closer union with God, as our sorrows may do for us, like some treasure washed to our feet by a stormy sea. The key to the arrangement of the Psalm will be found in the threefold recurrence of an emphatic word. In the first verse we read, "My soul thirsteth for Thee;" in the fifth verse, "My soul shall be satisfied;" in the eighth verse, "My soul... read more

DISCOURSE: 601FOLLOWING AFTER GODPsalms 63:8. My soul followeth hard after Thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.IT has been said, that Christian progress is more evinced by desires than by actual attainments. This sentiment is either true or false, according to the explanation given of it. If it be meant that there can be any growth in Christianity without attainments in holiness, or that growth in grace is to be measured by any thing but actual attainments in every part of the divine life, it is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 63:1-11

Psalms 63:1-11 Psalms 63:1-11 is a psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. Now, from Jerusalem west lies the coastal plains, fertile valleys, beautiful lush orange groves, and apricot and pear and peach orchards, and all. From Jerusalem east lies the Judean wilderness, just outside of Jerusalem. Just beyond Bethany you begin to drop down into that great African rift to the area of the Dead Sea 1,200 feet below sea level at its surface. And that area from Jerusalem east gets very... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 63:1-11

Psalms 63:4 . I will lift up my hands in thy name. This was swearing fidelity to the Lord. The heathens did the same to their idols; they kissed their hand, or they stretched it out. Job 31:27. Psalms 44:20. David’s generals did the same, when they swore fidelity to Solomon. 1 Chronicles 29:24. An Indian writer, cited by our missionaries, speaks to the same effect; “An idol is not Brumha [God] therefore lift not up your hand to it.” Virgil refers to the same custom among the gentiles. ... read more

Psalms 63:1-11O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee.The greatest things of the soulI. The greatest hunger of the soul (Psalms 63:1). The soul wants God, as the thirsty land the refreshing showers, as the opening flower the sunbeam.II. The greatest faith of the soul (Psalms 63:3).

Psalms 63:7-8Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.The remembrance of past mercies an inducement to present confidence in GodThis psalm is not one of complaint or sorrow, nor of settled joy, but of the transition from the one to the other. David has just recovered his confidence in God, and feeling assured that his soul will soon find rest and confidence in Him. Believers, now, are often in this state of mind, in this transition state. Oh, let us... read more
