James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 35:1

CONTENTS The prophet David is evidently here typifying Christ and speaking of him. The Psalm, is a subject of prayer, with strong faith and assurance. In the close a song of thanksgiving is added. A Psalm of David. Psalms 35:1 The Psalm opens with powerful pleadings: Christ may be plainly seen here as in the garden. The church, and every individual of it beholding their interest in Christ, and union with Christ, are authorized to adopt this language. But let the believer always keep in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 35:2-3

The last clause in these verses shows the blessedness in what goeth before. If the Lord speak pardon and peace to my soul, he will speak ruin and slaughter unto all mine enemies. Reader! what a precious thought is it that the Lord not only gives salvation, but is himself the soul's salvation. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:1

Himself. Psalm is understood. It is expressed in St. Ambrose and St. Jerome, (Calmet) and is the Alexandrian Septuagint. (Haydock) --- Eusebius improperly assigns the cause of the omission to the piece being of a moral nature. Many suppose it refers to Saul, who had promised that he would give ear no more to the detractors of David, when the latter restored to him his spear and cup, 1 Kings xxvi. (Theodoret, &c.) --- But it seems rather to express the sentiments of the captives at Babylon,... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:2

Himself. Hebrew libbi, "in my heart." But this is visibly incorrect, and we should substitute lobu, as St. Jerome, Chaldean, Syriac, &c., have done. (Calmet) --- Yet Symmachus translates, "concerning the disorder of the impious within, my heart has said, there," &c. Hebrew may also signify, "the transgression of the wicked saith within my heart." (Protestants) (Haydock) --- I am inwardly convinced how great the malice of the wicked may be. It touches me to the very heart. Both senses... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:3

Unto hatred. That is, hateful to God (Challoner) and man; (Haydock) or that he may be able to hurt, as Hebrew also may insinuate. (Berthier) --- Septuagint, "to find and hate his iniquity." But he acts not with sincerity. He wishes to defend his evil ways. (St. Augustine, &c.) --- He still flatters himself with impunity, Psalm ix. 25., or x. 11. To find, often means to punish, Genesis xliv. 16., &c. (Calmet) --- God frequently abandons those who sin through malice. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 35:1-10

1-10 It is no new thing for the most righteous men, and the most righteous cause, to meet with enemies. This is a fruit of the old enmity in the seed of the serpent against the Seed of the woman. David in his afflictions, Christ in his sufferings, the church under persecution, and the Christian in the hour temptation, all beseech the Almighty to appear in their behalf, and to vindicate their cause. We are apt to justify uneasiness at the injuries men do us, by our never having given them cause... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 35:1-10

Prayer against the Godless. A psalm of David, invoking God's aid against the ungodly, contrasting the hypocrisy, cunning, and malice of the wicked with the integrity and generosity of the righteous, on whose side he himself serves as example. Imprecations upon the Wicked v. 1. Plead my cause, as in court proceedings, O Lord, with them that strive with me, impleading him for alleged wickedness; fight against them that fight against me, carrying their hatred to the point of making war on... read more
